Answer:

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

Explanation:

The DMCA was passed in the year 1998 in the US and is considered a copyright law. However, it does not focus on copying issues mainly but is actually focused on copyright infringements and distribution of tools and software. The law covers all technological, digital and other services through which distribution and dissemination of copyrighted work can occur. This way it provides protection to those who are legally distributing copyrighted work and takes action against those who are illegally distributing copyrighted work. The law is basically focused on the implementation of the treaties signed with the World Intellectual Property Organization.
