Briefing Paper: Internet Service Provider Safe Harbors and Expedited Subpoena Process in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and Recent Bilateral Free Trade Agreements
Overview The U.S. Trade Representative is seeking to incorporate provisions in bilateral free trade agreements regulating the liability of Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") for copyright infringement that are modeled on similar provisions in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). U.S. rightsholders have sought these provisions in recent trade agreements to ensure that ISPs will assist in enforcing copyright. They claim that the provisions are necessary to provide U.S. rightsholders with "Effective action against any act of infringement" of copyright under Article 41 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property.
