YouTube reveals more about “Claim your Content” filtering
News: YouTube’s Julie Supan today described the forthcoming filtering technology from YouTube, known as “Claim Your Content.” According to one account:
“The technology does not identify copyright material,” Supan said, “because we can not distinguish between copyrighted material on YouTube that the owner wants on the site from material that is put up without the owners’ permission.”"What we are testing,” Supan went on to say, “is identification technology that will help content owners identify and locate their content on YouTube. This will facilitate their ability to ‘claim their content’ and leave it up for promotional purposes or, if they wish, seek to remove it from the site.”
Analysis: Hmmm. More should be said about this filtering. Given the anticipation for its deployment, I’m starting to fear it may not meet the growing expectations.
