The fourth of five courses in the ASMP Core Copyright Curriculum, The DMCA and Your Business is a newly-released course that explores what the DMCA really is, and how it applies to you as a creator. In this course, Thomas Maddrey reviews the details of the law, and discusses how to utilize the takedown procedures embodied in the law to get your work removed from infringements when you find them online.
As a companion to the course, a new template has been added to the ASMP Document Library, the DMCA Takedown Letter Template. This detailed document includes exactly what is required under the law to effectively and properly inform an online service provider that they are hosting work that is not allowed, and requests its immediate removal.
