S 1183 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Internet websites which deal in electronic dissemination of music or audiovisual works to disclose certain information.

This bill requires websites that primarily distribute third-party music or video content (like streaming services or platforms hosting user-uploaded audiovisual works) to clearly display their business name, physical address, phone number, and email address in easily accessible locations (such as "About" or "Contact" pages) for New Jersey consumers. It mandates that these sites must make this information visible before users engage with the content. If a site fails to comply, copyright holders can file a lawsuit after giving the site 14 days to fix the issue, with the winning party entitled to legal fees. The law does not apply to hosting services or internet providers that merely transmit content, focusing solely on the websites directly distributing the works.
