Study Notes

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

The DMCA's anticircumvention clause prohibits technologies that bypass copyright protection of digital media.
This clause has implications for fair use. It's illegal to reverse engineer a competitor's product to understand its workings, which restricts innovation and security research through a "chilling effect".
The DMCA impacts the first-sale doctrine, as digital media is often licensed rather than purchased.
