Abstract
User generated content （UGC） social networking has been the most popular way in so called ""Web 2.0"" environment, such as Facebook, Blog, Wikipedia and Youtube. Recently with the developemnt of cloud computing technology, several revolutional services and electronic devices popped up and changed our lives rapidly. For example, we can easily upload, download, backup or share any information or files with others only by by Dropbox, Gmail or iCloud by a smart phone and internet. However, with the convenience of the internet and smart phones, copyright infringers caused much more damages in nowadays internet environment, but it was hard to traced the ananymous direct copyright infringers for authors, and in most situation these infringers had no financial capability to pay for the authours'' damages. Therefore, authours turned to Internet Service Provider（ISP） for their damages. How to protect the authours but not to put too much liability for ISP has become a big problem for the government. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act（DMCA） is a United States copyright law which was implented to limited ISP liability trying to make a balance between authours and ISP. To cope with copyright infringment resulting from digital networking, Taiwan has established regulations in 2007, introducing inducement rule from the United States Supreme court Grokster case, and established our liability limit rules in 2009, but there are some diferrences between Taiwan and the U.S., and thus the goal of the thesis is to compare Taiwan copyright law especially about ISP safe harbors rules with DMCA, and tried to make some possible suggestions to help solving the current and potential problems for the cloud computing technology in the future.
