“There are ways to recognize it. MySpace has a pretty good system for recognizing copyrighted music being uploaded to the site.”

Obviously you dont know what your talkin about because ive attempted to upload copyrighted material as my own and have done it, all they do is check the file name you give. If the file name somewhat resembles a artist/song together you will be denied, other than the name checking myspace doesnt have shit

Wow, I am glad I like Ubuntu Ultimate 1.4 so much. Just need to install Linux MCE.

fucking big companies.. i can understand the combat against full episodes what when 10-40 second clips get pulled down its bullshit… i look up funny gags from family guy all the time even people who make music videos with tv show clips or compilation clips with suffer because that somehow infringes on copyright… i mean how is the common man meant to get permission from say BBC to make a doctor who compilation video????

so this software will in turn fuck up you tube, i mean people who have their favourite song as an intro to a video long might be banned because infringement… where the fuck does this end???? dont you love corporations fucking over the little guy you tube is a great way for the average person to show themselves to the world, promote their favourite shows which is for free… but nope viacom was clearly losing too much money from this… what fucking bullshit….. what a shitload of fuck…. fuck balls…

This will bite them in the ass for sure, there are tons of other sites that don’t/won’t have the censorship.

Blu-ray and HDDVD have great copyright protection. If THEY were able to keep consumers from copying digital media they possess, than youtube should be able to at least keep it off their website.

Oh… wait…

They don’t need to include a hidden signal into the material – each and every video already has instantly recognizable patterns. A 10 second grab from say the new “Simpsons” movie, whether captured by a hand held camera or ripped from DVD is, to anyone with eyes and a brain, instantly recognizable and easy to remember. Recognition technology needs to be able to effectively read these patterns and match them to a database – implementing the database and making it work is the big job. But, it is clearly feasible – and, the recognition technology could be made foolproof. The only way to spoof the technology would be if you changed the film and made it unrecognizable – then it would be useless. Copyright owners would have to register their films.

I’m not much of a programmer or a video expert, but I do believe they will find a way to keep 90% of the copyright infringement off youtube.

Take 1 million people holding 1 million cups. We can figure out who is who. I mean sure its more complexed with videos, but if you were being sued for 1 billion you would find a way.

In my opinion it is possible but very hard. there is a technology that is employed by Canon, using a hardware attached to the camera each picture is given a signature code based on many aspcets. this code is saved on the picture and if the picture is ever modified a new check of the picture will give you a different signature code and you would know this is not the original picture or it has been modified.
On the same principal if they can trigger the capture based on certain requirement (if the audio hits a cetrian level, if picture is brighter than a certain level), get the code and compair it to their data bank and if it matches something in it then that is probably a copy protected video or a flagged one.
This is one way of doing it, the signature code can be generated based a video clip not a picture or a combination of video and audio.
The limitations include if the vieo is encoded, audio is out of sync, if it is a camera capture of a movie in a theater. also the video owners have to be willing to compile signature code lists of all their movies and give them to google for their data bank.
Its just how i would do it, lets see how google does it

Anything that programmers can come up with to put INTO a video, “anti-programmers” can come up with a way to take out, given time.

If this really works, I do believe youtube will lose a fair bit of popularity. I think many will move to other sites that don’t have censor shit.

Imagine if it does work, what will it lead to? Major Media companies armed with advanced recognition software! Something about that just doesn’t sound good lol
