T Bone Burnett Delivers Scathing Message to Copyright Office, Urging Reform
- sbuttgereit 10y agoThe article is chiefly about a music industry centric response to the DMCA and safe harbor. From the article... At issue is section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) signed in 1998, which includes the "safe harbor" provisions that protect digital service providers such as YouTube from copyright infringement litigation by outlining a system to deal with illegal copyrighted material uploaded to its platform. Burnett, who serves on the advisory board of the Content Creators Coalition (c3) and submitted the video on behalf of the organization, says the current safe harbors provision has failed, allowing the internet to become a "digital black hole."
