Fair Use & Digital Rights Management in the Light of U.S. Laws

This paper discusses the digital copyright management in the context of Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 1998. The increased ability to copy and distribute information, knowledge, and entertainment in the digitally networked age has provoked a series of responses. In order to gain back control, copyright holders have made use of so-called technological protection measures including, for instance, Digital Rights Management (DRM) schemes - that are aimed at regulating the copying, distribution, and use of and access to digital works through code ('code is law'). The digital right management prevents the unauthorized use of authors’ original work. With the current technological developments in information technology, information can be accessed easily. In the wake of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s (DMCA) ban on the circumvention of DRM technologies used to control copyrightable works, DRM restrictions are now backed up with the force of law.
