DMCA is a copyright law that applies two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It proscribes both the production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to by-pass measures (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also outlaws the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.
LII has no control over and does not endorse any external Internet site that contains links to or references LII.
