by Duncan Riley on October 18, 2007

pirate.jpgA new joint copyright alliance that includes CBS Corp., Dailymotion, Microsoft, NBC Universal, News Corp.’s Fox and MySpace units, Viacom Inc. and Walt Disney Co is due to launch Friday, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

Google is noted as not being a member of the grouping, but in discussions to join.

The group will address copyright-related issues including video piracy, with a focus on using technology to eliminate copyright-infringing content and blocking any infringing material before it is publicly accessible.

Google launched anti-piracy technology on YouTube Monday.Viacom sued Google over YouTube content in March.

BeerCo can fully develop Sergey Brin’s COPS system
http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/copy.html

From 11 years ago and update it for today. We are more than familiar with his and Page’s papers, and can implement a hash system server with a plug-in for new technology filters as they become available. We can do this for far less than it would cost in Mountain View and we would like to discuss it with you. Please get a hold of me.
I’ll guarantee it. If Sergey doesn’t like it, we’ll change it until he does.

 

Like the war on drugs, the war on piracy will never be won.

 
 

This message is also to Google. If we implement a 2007 version of COPS and it fails because we implemented the spec wrong, we’ll refund Google and CBS Corp., Dailymotion, Microsoft, NBC Universal, News Corp.’s Fox and MySpace their development money.

What do you have to lose?
We also want to show somebody over in Mountain view a new piece of software tech, so please contact us for that as well.

 

Chris:

interesting. Meet me at Starbucks in half and hour. I will be wearing a mauve scarf (chilly already!).

 
 

Sergey, if this is Raisin Brin, then call me 418-210-3575. I need about 10 hours to get to Mountain View. I will film some HD video of our new project before leaving to show you and bring the camcorder. Actually because of the EST-PST time shift, I can be there in more like 6 hours.

I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I know the innards of Google, I know Google doesn’t have what we have. As for re-implementing COPS, I found a few flaws in the specification or overview. We can make a platform out of it where new implementations can be plugged in. COPS is a very rigid specification and would fail as a product that many different programming teams could use as a solution. We can fix that.

 

I heard dogs are being trained to Sniff Out Piracy?

If anybody wants technology to defeat said frame scanning and vector comparing, we can provide a solution on that front that as well(for the same price). We’re equal opportunity.

 

Daily Motion? Since when did they become so pure? Talk about chutzpah….

 

The entertainment industry simply don’t get it. With technology advancement, the genie has been let out of the bottle and cannot be contained, period. You plug one hole, another one or two or three will pop up. Even a 3rd world country like Burma cracking down on monks are being broadcast to the world. The only way they stopped it is by unplugging access to the internet and that’s about what the entertainment company needed to do to stop the bleeding, which isn’t going to happen. So wake up, get creative, and embrace this as a new powerful medium for distribution or die the flaming death of the dinosaurs.

 

Halloween couture…that pup is tres tres chic!

 

google can’t fully be a member… it’s got YouTube as one of its subsidiaries.

 

A confederacy of dunces…er…collection of Old Media luminaries spearheaded by Clown Co. - Hooray!

Is the intent really to stop piracy, or just prolong the amount of time before their inevitable extinction?
