Which act addresses copyright issues related to digital transmission?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998 is the act that specifically addresses copyright issues related to digital transmission. The DMCA was established to update copyright laws for the digital age and was designed to protect copyright owners’ rights while also enabling the growth of the internet and digital technologies. This act implements provisions aimed at curbing copyright infringement on the internet, including regulations on the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials through digital means.

One of the key features of the DMCA is the introduction of "safe harbor" provisions that protect online service providers from liability for copyright infringement by their users, as long as those providers comply with specific requirements. These provisions are crucial in balancing the rights of copyright owners with the interests of online platforms and users, fostering a more open and accessible digital environment.

The other options do not specifically address copyright issues related to digital transmission. The Copyright Clearance Center is an organization that facilitates copyright licensing, the Fair Use Guidelines pertain to the limitations on the use of copyrighted material without permission, and the Family Educational Rights Act focuses on privacy rights in educational records rather than copyright issues.
