[...] Content Theft: AdBrite, currently, does not have any software to check for video duplicates to help weed out potentially infringing videos. Since it can pull videos from anywhere on the Web, there is nothing to stop users from just resubmitting what someone else has posted and profiting directly from it. [...]

[...] Mais étrangement d’autres acteurs ne sont pas concernés par ce procès. MetaCafe est plus gros que Grouper et Bolt.com (du moins selon Alexa) et si vous faites une recherche sur Mariah Carey vous trouverez plusieurs résultats accompagnés d’une publicité pour CareerBuilder. Un autre acteur qui n’est pas concerné par ce procès est Guba, qui en indexant les vidéos disponibles sur le réseau Usenet donne accès à un nombre importants de vidéos protégées. Et malgré son accord avec la MPAA et sa solution de détection de matériel protégé « Johnny » les utilisateurs peuvent toujours voir des tonnes de vidéos sur le site de Guba et les télécharger sur leur ordinateur, iPod et PSP. Une recherche sur Guba à propos de Mary J. Blige aboutit à plusieurs résultats. [...]

[...] Surprisingly, other websites weren’t mentioned in this lawsuit. Metacafe is larger than both Grouper and Bolt.com (according to Alexa data) and a search for Universal Music artist Mariah Carey resulted in several music videos of her, along with a pre-roll video advertisement for CareerBuilder. Another that wasn’t named in the lawsuit is Guba, which has blatant copyright infringement occurring on their website as a result of their indexing pirated videos from Usenet. Despite teaming with the MPAA and supposedly cracking down on piracy with software called “Johnny,” users can easily view tons of music videos on Guba’s website or download them to their computer, iPod, or PSP. A search on Guba for Universal Music artist Mary J. Blige, returned several of her music videos. [...]

Mon, 09 Oct 2006 21:47:59 +0000

[...] Que cela signifie t-il? A moins que la technologie de détection de contenu protégé ait été annoncée par Google exactement au même moment, cela pourrait être un signe que des négociations d’acquisition de même que la technologie de YouTube étaient bien au cœur des discussions entre ces 2 acteurs. Nous nous demandions justement si (contrairement à ce que beaucoup pensent) il ne s’agirait pas là pour Google d’acquérir aussi une technologie et non juste une base d’utilisateurs. Mais il se pourrait aussi bien que Google ait développé sa propre technologie de détection de contenus protégés. Guba avait fait de même en juillet dernier. [...]

[...] What does it all mean? Unless copyrighted content detection just happened to be announced by Google at the same time a possible acquisition of YouTube and their technology was under discussion - that may rightly put more fuel to the fire. I was wondering last night whether this was in part a technology acquisition by Google and not just aimed at pulling in the community of users. It’s also entirely possible that Google has built its own copyrighted content detection technology. We covered a startup, Guba, that announced its own in July. [...]

I second James completely.

Its like there are bad apples packed in an opaque bag.
The seller says pay and then do whatever you want to.

Technology has enabled you to taste apples before buying.
If the apples are really good, the consumer will surely go for them.
And anyways, online advertising allows even the bad apples to earn some money.

If this “Johnny” technology is actually effective (which I doubt), then youtube will ultimately be cutting off its nose to spite it’s face. It will be a copyright violation free zone but nobody will be interested in watching it. Now that’s a shrewd strategy if I’ve ever seen one. It’s like the old joke where someone is told: “The operation was a success…but the patient died.”

Some new website will just emerge to take its place. Good.

The RIAA and MPAA STILL don’t get it. All those copyrighted videos and copyrighted songs on youtube function as FREE marketing for record and movie companies. I have bought numerous CD’s because I saw a video or heard a song that I liked in the internet. And the marketing value multiplies when you consider the cross-posting on myspace pages. Not to mention folks who will then buy concert tickets because they were exposed to a performer.

The corporate monkeys are stuck in mindset where they have to control and own every little thing. IT CAN”T BE DONE ON THE INTERNET. Instead of attacking some kid who added a song to their home video or some kid who wanted to add a “captured” video clip to their myspace page, they need to figure out how to work WITH the internet — use it to their advantage. Regretably, this new youtube deal is just the same old RIAA & MPAA approach with a new coat of paint. Who do they think that they are fooling?

The record and movie industry’s biggest problem is that they need to seriously improve their content. Album sales aren’t down IMHO because of copyright violations. Sales are down because most of the artists on major labels suck. And most of the movies being made suck too.

It’s the problem of a cookie cutter mentality. The entertainment industry seems nearly incapable of any real creativity. So they just keep doing the same thing over and over again and blame the internet when they don’t make as much money as they expected.

So good luck to the RIAA and the MPAA and their clients who are trying to hang onto the old business model with minor variations around the margins. By all means, keep beating that dead horse. It will be entertaining to watch.

[...] We first covered technology capable of detecting copyrighted content in the case of video distributer Guba, who has developed a system code named “Johnny” that detects copyrighted video. We also wrote about online social network Faces (disclosure: now a sponsor) that counts all music played against an internet radio license. I hope that tomorrow’s Warner/YouTube announcement is a sign of times to come; when technology like this is used to protect rights holders’ baseline interests but in the context of widespread free use.

Hi,

i think it’s not that difficult to artificialy detect videos, and it would be hard to bypass this detection method. Every Mpeg codec reduces the file size by detecting the motion of the objects in the movie, i think you can use that to indetify the content very accurate.

I believe this tech is totally possible, it is just going to take someone figuring out how to index attributes of a video the way words are indexed from pages for search engines. Then comparisons are easy. There are a lot of different things that can be indexed that would make a video unique: color patterns, scene changes, motion, perhaps some words in frames that can be pulled out at certain times of the movie. I bet just scene changes alone is good enough so that if you say there are scene changes at a,b,c,d,e,f,g,etc times in the movie then that is a pretty damn good unique identifier for that movie. This is just one way to do it, I am sure there are dozens of others.
