Readability, Accessibility, and Clarity: An Analysis of DMCA Repeat Infringer Policies

ABSTRACT: Internet access is an essential service in the digital age, and internet service providers (ISPs) are a powerful choke point in the digital ecosystem. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) offers statutory safe harbor protection from copyright liability on the condition that an online service provider (1) adopts, (2) informs subscribers of, and (3) enforces a policy to terminate repeat infringers, in appropriate circumstances. This study examines the second condition, namely how well an ISP informs subscribers of its repeat infringer policy.
