DMCA is about content hosts, I doubt it applies to ISPs.
- wahern 5y agoThe DMCA created distinct safe harbors for (a) Transitory Digital Network Communications, b) System Caching, c) Information Residing on Systems or Networks At Direction of Users, d) Information Location Tools, and e) Nonprofit Educational Institutions. See https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 In practice (c) is the most important. The others are probably unnecessary (e.g. (a)) or rarely implicated (e.g. (e), which until the recent Archive.org COVID-19 fight I don't think had even seen any academic discussion, let alone been implicated in an actual lawsuit).
