Does a service provider have to notify its users about its policies regarding the removal of materials?
To qualify for exemption under the safe harbor provisions, the service provider must give notice to its users of its policies regarding copyright infringement and the consequences of repeated infringing activity. [512(i)(1)(A)] The notice can be a part of the contract signed by the user when signing up for the service or a page on the service provider’s web site explaining the terms of use of their systems. While there are no specific rules about how this notice must be made, it must be “reasonably implemented” so that subscribers and account holders are informed of the terms.
