The
Digital Millennium Copyright Act
 
The
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which was
signed into law on October 28, 1998, specifies procedures by
which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may limit liability
with respect to information residing on network servers.
Wellesley
College, in accordance with the DMCA, has designated an agent to
receive notification of claimed copyright infringement. All claims of copyright infringement should be directed to this
agent and must conform to DMCA notification procedures. The College
provides a web-based
form and all the pertinent information in
order to facilitate contact with the agent.
Web
sites that are the subject of infringement charges by copyright
owners may be disabled by Wellesley's authorized Information Services
(IS) members. Individual members of the college community who are
responsible for the text and graphics on such sites will be reached
as quickly as possible to discuss appropriate responses to the
DMCA's "take-down" and "put-back" specifications.
Wellesley's Copyright
Policy and Copyright
FAQ are on the College web site. Wellesley students,
faculty, and staff may email Graham
Henderson (shenders@wellesley.edu)
or telephone him (ext. 3514) with questions about copyright. Wellesley
users and page providers are reminded that copyright infringement
is
also against the Responsible
Use of Information Technology Resources.
