YouTube to Release Video Fingerprint Technology

Based on 'revolutionary technology' by Audible Magic, YouTube is moments away from implementing a new system where copyrighted content will be stopped before the uploading process of the video(s) is ever completed.

InformationWeek calls it "fingerprinting technology" where a spokesman for Google, Ricardo Reyes, says that "We're trying to see if there is a way to make video identification technology a reality. We're going to start testing that on a larger scale in July with some pretty large partners."

The new system is still labeled as an early beta which--as Softpedia points out--maybe a "simple way to avoid criticism over the inefficacy of the feature" since this may have a significant impact on uploaders.

I recorded the finale for The Shield, but the last minute or so got cut off so I tried searching for it on YouTube. I only found the part where he gets dragged by the car tho' :(

I hope this doesn't remove all their music videos. That's the only thing Y.T. is good for.

I don't recall ever going on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com) or any other video streaming site for that matter so this information is irrelevant to me. But correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there other video streaming sites out there. :unsure:

it wont take 30 seconds for someone to make an anti-"fingerprint" macro for virtual-dub. it won't even stop the kids that are only wanting to show their mates a thirty second clip, because the antiantipiracy thing could be put on newsgroup releases. they'd be better off praying for it to stop
