The ISP Liability Provisions

The DMCA eliminates ISP liability for infringement by customers if the ISP removes the allegedly infringing material. The ISP must provide the copyright owner with contact information of the alleged infringers. The Act sets forth a relatively simple way for copyright owners to notify the ISP that it is hosting a site containing infringing content. The ISP has five days to remove the infringed material and may replace it if the accused infringer claims it does not infringe and provides its address and other information, so the accuser can deal directly with the accused.
