Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision is grounded in US Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §101 et seq.), Lanham Act trademark protections (15 U.S.C. §1051 et seq.), and corresponding international IP treaties (Berne Convention, TRIPS Agreement). The DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512) provides safe harbor for online service providers but also establishes liability for users who circumvent technological protection measures. 2)
