Copyright Protection Issues
ESA member companies depend upon strong enforcement of copyright laws to protect their works, and ensuring that harmful copyright legislation is not enacted has been and remains one of ESA's highest priorities. ESA was an active participant in the public policy debate that culminated in enactment of the historic Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and legislative efforts to weaken the DMCA will continue to be vigorously opposed by ESA and others in the copyright community.
ESA continues to be actively involved in any congressional debate on issues affecting the DMCA and the Copyright Act, and we are also actively involved in the policy debate surrounding file sharing utilities and related technologies that pose a significant and direct threat to the copyright protected works of our members.
