With all the current issues Traffic Exchange and mailer owners
are facing, it is apparent that much of what will be posted will
be over the heads of many readers.
Thus I am posting some of the Urls I ran into while doing my
research. They will provide you with interesting reading and
by the time you are done, will leave you quite informed as to
Internet and DMC laws that otherwise might badly affect your business enterprises.
Did you know there is a Copyright of Digital Information?
Go back a bit to the days of having an OEM copy of a MS
Operating System. {FN33: 17 U.S.C. §1002} The Serial Copy
Management System allows the making of unlimited copies
from an original digital recording but prevents any copies
being made from those copies.
The computer industry got left alone. The definition of a
digital audio recording device requires that it be “designed
and marketed for the primary purpose of . . . making a
digital audio copied recording for private use,” {FN35: 17 U.S.C. §1001(3)}
and digital audio recording medium excluded any medium
primarily marketed or used “for the purpose of making
copies of nonmusical literary works, including computer
programs and databases.” {FN36: 17 U.S.C. §1001(4)}
Thus while MicroSoft scared the devil out of most of us,
we were allowed to make all the copies from the original
that suited our purposes but we could not make copies
of the copies.
As nothing in law stays singular in meaning or use,

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United
States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties
of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).the
DMCA heightens the penalties for copyright infringement
on the Internet.[1][2] Passed on October 12, 1998, by the
unanimous vote in the United States Senate and signed
into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998,
the DMCA amended Title 17 of the United States Code to
extend the reach of copyright, while limiting the liability
of the providers of online services for copyright
infringement by their users.
