DMCA "safe harbor" up in the air for online sites that use moderators

DMCA "safe harbor" up in the air for online sites that use moderators

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act's so-called "safe harbor" defense to infringement is under fire from a paparazzi photo agency. A new court ruling says the defense may not always be available to websites that host content submitted by third parties.

    Interesting times, a vaild argument can be made for and against this.

    But a San Francisco-based federal appeals court is ruling that, if a website uses moderators to review content posted by third parties, the safe harbor privilege may not apply. That's according to a Friday decision in a dispute brought by Mavrix Photographs against LiveJournal, which hosts the popular celebrity fan forum "Oh No they Didn't." The site hosted Mavrix-owned photos of Beyonce Knowles, Katy Perry, and other stars without authorization.

    This is going back to a lower court to review the case. But if this ruling stands I wonder how this will affect sites like IMZY, Etsy, Kickstarter, Pinterest, and Tumblr.
