4. Safe Harbor Provisions
The DMCA provides safe harbor provisions that protect The Service from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided that The Service adheres to certain requirements. To qualify for safe harbor, The Service must not have actual knowledge of infringing activity, must not be found to be 'willfully blind' to such activity, and must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving a valid notification. Additionally, The Service must implement a policy for terminating repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
