'The section of United States copyright law which covers service providers such as LiveJournal, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), specifically outlines the steps which must be taken in response to a claim of copyright infringement. These steps include expeditious disabling of access to the content alleged to be infringing. Moreover, the service provider may not make judgements about the validity of such claims.'
