YouTubes antipiratverktøy

Google har nå lansert det lenge ventede verktøyet som "automatisk" skal filtrere bort beskyttede videoklipp på YouTube: Google unveils YouTube antipiracy tool, (News.com, 15. okt. 2007).

The automated YouTube video ID system looks at all video as it is uploaded and tries to match it with a database of visual abstractions of the copyrighted material that has been provided by content owners. If the system finds a match it will either block it, post it, or--depending upon the policy specified by the content owner--put ads on it, with the revenue being shared with the content owner.
