Last week, a federal district judge in California dismissed a copyright infringement suit brought by Universal Music Group against a man selling Universal’s “promo” CDs on eBay. This decision is not a minor blip on the music industry’s radar, and at the case’s heart was something called the “first sale doctrine.” So – what is the first sale doctrine, and why should you care? Excellent questions – let’s see if I can answer them.

(C): Notice & Take Down Pt. 1
If you are an individual or company offering a service on the internet, you may already be aware of “notice and takedown” or “safe harbor” rules for copyrighted content online.
If not – now is the time to learn. These rules, enacted in the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), may just protect you and your website from landing in hot water for copyright infringement.
In this series, I will discuss the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA, who they apply to and the varying types of liability associated with online copyright infringement.
Keep in mind throughout this article that I have oversimplified many of the legal concepts and issues in order to provide a layman's overview of the subject. As always on MELON, the specifics of any particular situation will probably require a more in depth understanding and analysis.
