The CASE ACT Passes!

Just before Christmas, Congress passed the CASE Act. The CASE Act creates a kind of “small claims” process for creators whose claims are less than $30,000. The Copyright Office is now required to create a Copyright Claims Board within one year of enacting the law. Learn more by clicking here.

Many organizations worked for years to get this passed.  We would like to thank those organizations including the Digital Media Licensing Association for all their hard work.
