4. Safe Harbor Provisions
The DMCA establishes safe harbor provisions that protect online service providers from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided they comply with certain requirements. To qualify for safe harbor, The Service must not have actual knowledge of infringing material, must not be aware of facts or circumstances that would make the infringing activity apparent, and must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving proper notification. Additionally, The Service must not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity when it has the right and ability to control such activity.
