Abstract
On March 29, 2016, EDUCAUSE, the Association of American Universities (AAU), and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) submitted comments in response to the U.S. Copyright Office’s notice of inquiry (https://federalregister.gov/a/2015-32973) related to its study of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice-and-takedown process. The associations urged the Copyright Office to explore avenues for more effectively holding accountable persons or organizations that repeatedly submit “fraudulent, abusive, and unfounded notices” in light of the burden that a high volume of such notices places on colleges and universities.
