Definition(s)
- The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998, was an attempt by the U.S. government to vault analog-media copyright protections into the digital age. The law extends legal protections for software and content authors and for media businesses, in an era when it is possible for almost anyone to make unlimited, perfect copies of digital music, books, software, and movies and to sell them or redistribute them free over the Internet.
