Filtering software makes YouTube copyright cop
YouTube plans to use video fingerprinting software to identify postings that might be protected by copyright.
The video-sharing Web site is the target of a federal copyright-infringement lawsuit, and its lawyer mentioned the new filtering method in a hearing on the case. It's not likely to work as promised, however, according to J. Gold Associates Principal Analyst Jack Gold.
Google and YouTube are planning to unveil copyright protection technology that goes above and beyond what some observers think is even possible.
A Google lawyer told a judge that Google it is creating a database of video "fingerprints" and a system that will match them against uploaded clips to screen out those that appear to be copyrighted, according to media reports.
