YouTube Unveils Copyright Protection Tool

Oct 16, 2007  •  Post A Comment

After months of testing, YouTube finally rolled out its copyright protection system dubbed YouTube Video Identification, the company announced Monday.
The Google-owned site said in a blog post that the new system “goes well above and beyond our legal responsibilities.”
Time will tell if the new system soothes rights holders. In March Viacom filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Google for rights violations. Earlier this month, News Corp.’s President and Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin said publicly that Google needed to do a better job identifying copyrighted content, especially given that News Corp.-owned MySpace rolled out a filtering system earlier this year.
The new YouTube system, still in beta, will help rights holders identify their videos on YouTube and decide whether they want to block, promote or create revenue with YouTube with those clips via ads.
“Remember, this is a beta program, and we expect to hit unforeseen bumps and bottlenecks as we refine, improve and scale the system to meet everyone’s needs. So please be patient,” YouTube said on its site.
YouTube said Video Identification is one of many filtering tools it uses. Others include a “strict repeat-infringer policy” to terminate the account of repeat offenders and a 10-minute time limit on length of content uploaded.
