Google to Copyright Proof YouTube
Google plans on introducing a system which will automatically filter out copy written materials from being posted on YouTube.
According to the plan, Google intends on maintaining a library of digital video fingerprints that would be used by a computer system to screen clips being uploaded to YouTube. This is according to Philip Beck, one of the attorneys representing Google and YouTube. According to Beck the screening process would take only a few minutes to determine whether a clip is copyright material.
To date, Google has been confident that if sued, it would be able to get away unharmed, but it appears as if the growing amount of suits concerning copyright infringement made Google make a move the right direction and attempt to fight the abuse of its YouTube platform.
