The Tabberone™ Archives
These articles concern what we consider major trademark and copyright issues. They are usually reproduced with the original source referenced. Bear in mind, these articles are copyrighted and commercial use without permission of the authors may be considered infringement. The intended use here is educational, commentary and non-commercial. The reason they are reproduced in the Tabberone™ Archives, as opposed to just providing a link, is because links disappear and pages are removed. That presents a messy confirmation process that is annoying to the browser (you) but also presents a credibility issue. We do not claim any rights in these pieces. Do not regard the absence of a copyright statement or © to mean the article is not copyrighted. Some sites do not have a copyright statement.

When an article or a comment is posted on the internet by the copyright owner, the owner is seeking a world-wide, 24/7 audience; sometimes for a limited amount of time, sometimes indefinitely. In essence, an internet posting intentionally relinquishes one's copyright for exclusivity because the owner has posted it on the internet to been seen by everyone, everywhere. The Tabberone™ Archives non-commercial duplication of the posting is simply a continuance of the original wishes of the copyright owner. We post these articles for reference, for commentary and for confirmarion of our position.

What Is The Digitial Millenium Copyright Act?

U.S.C. Section 1201: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA):

  • It is now a crime to circumvent anti-piracy programs or to manufacture and sell devices specifically made for circumvention.

  • Nonprofits may crack copyright protection devices for encryption research, assessing product interoperability, and to test security systems.

  • There are limits on copyright infringement liability for Internet service providers (ISPs). Fort Hays State University is an example of an ISP.

  • ISPs, however, are expected to remove material that appears to constitute copyright infringement, and for that reason, Fort Hays State University has appointed David Schmidt as the infringement agent to receive complaints about any infringements on an FHSU web site.

  • The DMCA also specifies that there be licensing fees for webcasters, to be set by the Register of Copyrights.

  • The DMCA extends the archives rights of libraries [Section 108 b and c], allowing them to convert copyrighted print and other non-digital media to electronic media for storage and retrieval purposes, but the digital copy must be unavailable offsite of the library premises unless it is in the public domain or the library has permission.

  • Finally, DMCA also requires that the Register of Copyrights study the impact of the DMCA on “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research” and submit periodic recommendations.
