The following article looks into the legal treatment of the exchange of files protected by copyright protected materials, in the cloud in legislation and in the laws of the United States, with the objective to determine if there is responsibility of those who provide the services due to the infringements committed by their users, and if the current regulations are suitable to face the protection of copyright materials in this environment. In order to achieve this objective, we study the principles of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the way in which judges have determined the responsibility of these subjects in similar situations. The research ends with an analysis of the ruling of the Capitol Records vs. MP3tunes where the responsibility of providers of cloud computing services in the exchange of material protected by copyright is specifically addressed.Downloads
