We see the changes in the web policy. Video sharing communities (here I mean youtube) are under the threat of coming up against the media industry. It’s time to account. Youtube has to root out piracy and delete porn.
The media industry is clashing with YouTube over its proposal to offer anti-piracy tools only to companies that have distribution deals with the top online video-sharing service, media insiders said.
Reuters says YouTube, owned by Google Inc., plans to introduce technology to help media companies identify pirated videos uploaded by users. But the tools are currently being offered as part of broader negotiations on licensing deals, they said.
It’s one of the three statements (the other two read here)
YouTube already has substantial copyright protection tools and policies in place. From the start, we’ve led the industry in developing a content verification tool to help copyright owners locate their content on our site and send us DMCA notices with the click of a mouse. We also take a unique “hash” of every video removed for copyright infringement and block re-upload of that exact video file prospectively. And we impose a 10-minute limit on videos to prevent the upload of full-length commercial programming in all standard accounts (which comprise more than 99% of our accounts). As a company that respects the rights of copyright holders, we expect to continue to take the lead in providing state of the art DMCA tools and processes for all copyright holders.
