Your website or business materials may put you at greater risk for litigation than you think.<a> 3:24<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could be held liable for copyright infringement even for photos from the MLS that are provided by a third party but appear on your website through an IDX display. Having a risk management strategy in place can help protect you and your business, says Chloe Hecht, senior counsel at the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae, in NAR\u2019s latest \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/videos\/window-to-the-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Window to the Law<\/a>\u201d video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, which was passed in 1998, may offer some protections when posting third-party content\u2014but it\u2019s not a foolproof defense. The DMCA is a federal law that provides a \u201csafe harbor\u201d to avoid some copyright infringement claims, but certain procedures must be met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hecht highlights some of those steps in the video, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Designate a copyright agent.<\/strong> This person will be responsible for receiving any takedown notices in case of copyright claims and will need to be listed as a contact and copyright owner on your website, along with their contact information. Also, register the copyright agent with the Copyright Office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comply with the DMCA\u2019s takedown procedure.<\/strong> After receiving any takedown notice due to a copyright allegation, promptly remove the content in question. Then, notify the person filing the complaint of its removal. \u201cIf the alleged infringer submits a counternotice, provide a copy of that counternotice to the copyright owner and state that the allegedly infringing content will be restored in 10 business days unless the copyright owner initiates a lawsuit,\u201d Hecht says in the video. \u201cAbsent such a lawsuit, you may restore the content to your website.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Include a notice at your site.<\/strong> Inform website users of your copyright policy and include it within your website\u2019s terms of use. View an example under the \u201cDigital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)\u201d section at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/terms-of-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nar.realtor\/terms-of-use<\/a>. Also, view the \u201cTermination\u201d section, which informs website users of enforcement for terminating repeat infringers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Access additional copyright resources at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/copyright\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nar.realtor\/copyright<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9National Association of REALTORS<br \/>\u00aeReprinted with permission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use this risk management strategy, especially if you\u2019re using any third-party content on your website or business materials.
