A section of the Act, The Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation, limits potential damages against organizations that act as online service providers. This includes libraries and educational institutions. In order to qualify for the limitation on copyright liability, Online Service Providers must comply with requirements set out in the new Act. It has been suggested that schools and libraries follow these procedures.
Additional information is available.
Both the American Library Association and Educause recommend complying with this law. In addition, the law firm advising the American Library Association recommends establishing a committee to manage copyright policies.
