A short note on DMCA and copyright
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that sets out how online services and rights holders should handle copyright notices and takedowns.
Copyright is the legal right that covers your recordings and compositions. Protecting that right matters because repeated unauthorised use can quietly reduce both your income and your control over how your work appears online.
