Yet MySpace, YouTube and other sites believe they are shielded from such
legal claims by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which was
created to keep Internet service providers from being held responsible
for copyright material their subscribers might disseminate.
The DMCA has since been adopted as a defense in most major copyright
cases involving Internet entities.
MySpace called the U.S. District Court lawsuit "unnecessary and
meritless" and said it doesn't encourage or condone copyright
violation.
"We are in full compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and
have no doubt we will prevail in court," a spokesman for the social
networking Web site said in a statement. "Moreover, we proactively take
steps to filter unauthorized music sound recordings and have implemented
audio fingerprinting technology," the statement said.
