You-Tube Creates Anti-Piracy Filters
The website YouTube has created a way to get rid of copyrighted clips. They have made filtering tools so that the owners of copyrighted material can block their material from being shown on YouTube. They also have the option for owners of copyrighted material to sell ads around their material if they want the clips to stay available on YouTube.
Seven months ago, Viacom Inc. sued YouTube for $1 billion dollars for showing thousands of copyrighted clips that the company owned. Over time, movie and TV studios have become upset with piracy through YouTube even though YouTube says it follows copyrighted laws by removing protected videos when requested.
You Tube has been working with Google engineers to make tools that can flag copyrighted video. They have been working at it for the past six months. YouTube also needs copyright holders to provide copies of the video that they want to protect so that they can compare the files provided with the material uploaded on its site. The movie and TV studios will have to provide all of their copyright material if they don’t want it on YouTube. Without doing this, YouTube will have a difficult way of knowing which material is legally or illegally posted on the site.
