These and most startups include a website or application that makes at least some use of some user-generated content, such as posts, comments, uploaded photographs, audio, or video files. Britton Payne, the Startupfix moderator, will discuss how Internet service providers like the above demo startups can use the DMCA to protect themselves from infringing acts of their users. Brit is an emerging technologies professor at Fordham Law, and general counsel at 30Ninjas LLC

Mixing
