The purpose of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is to criminalize the act of circumventing, or getting around, access controls that block access to copyrighted works. The DMCA was enacted to update copyright laws in light of digital technologies and to provide protections for copyright owners in the online environment. However, it also includes provisions that address the liability of internet service providers and safe harbor rules for online platforms, while establishing penalties for the unauthorized circumvention of copyright protections.
