classic european copyright vs us digital millenium act
Thierry
I am author, photographer and writer, and I registered the copyright for the
content of a website to a notary and my publishing house did the same for
the book that I wrote to the Ministery of Interior and National Library in
France and other countries, in europe. All three copyrights are authentic
but they could not be.
I am in conflict with www.dreamhost.com (je...@dreamhost.com) because I ask
them to remove a picture of mine published on one of their user website that
they host that shows all symptoms of a plagiarism of my image.
Usually there is no problem and all providers and even users accept to help
me resolving the problem, excepted dreamhost.
This people claims that he requires a Digital Millenium act to take action
(remove the litigeous image or to inform the user) and does not seem to
understand that my copyright has to be respected even without this act !
Like most european, I don't have this act and I won't get it.
NB. The law is even not voted nor even accepted in many european states !
How can I tell him to respect my authentic copyright. It is inadmissible
that someone refuses to respect a copyright simply because he claims that he
require a special new document that no everybody support...
How could I convince him to help me in solving the problem ?
Do I need to go to the court to protect an european copyright against a US
law dealing with the same protection , or wait until the law is voted in
europe ?
It's crazy !
