Answer to Question 1

The Act is designed to implement the treaties signed in 1996 at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Geneva conference. The DMCA had as its primary purpose the goal of updating United States copyright laws to deal with the digital information age. Major points of the DMCA include, but are not limited to:

1) Makes it a crime to circumvent anti-piracy measures found in commercial software and to manufacture, sale, or distribute code-cracking devices used to copy software.

2) Limits Internet service providers (ISPs) from copyright infringement liability for simply transmitting information over the Internet. However, the same ISPs must remove material from users' web sites that appear to constitute copyright infringement.

3) Provides exemptions from anti-circumvention provisions for nonprofit libraries, archives, and educational institutions with some exceptions. It also limits the liability of colleges and universities for copyright infringement by faculty members or graduate students when the schools act as an ISP.

4) Requires that webcasters pay licensing fees to record companies.
