DMCA Processes and Procedures
Proposal
In this unfortunately litigious world, as a site (NMRC and its assets) we will occasionally host material created by third party hosts. This is especially true in the areas of research but especially applies to rigor-mortis
which hosts a Mastodon instance. Therefore protections need to be in place for handling situations involving DMCA requests.
Steps to proceed
-
Read and set up a checklist based upon the information contained in the following EFF article: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/12/user-generated-content-and-fediverse-legal-primer (update this list with the checklist) -
Examine and adopt a DMCA policy (consider combining the elements of this DMCA policy and the above EFF article) -
Publish the DMCA policy on the NMRC website, and link to it from both the privacy policy as well as the rigor-mortis
Mastodon instance privacy policy page
