YouTube Filtering Is On-Line

ghostcorps writes "After months of promises to IP-holders, the long-awaited filters system for YouTube has gone online. The new system will make it easier, the company claims, for copyrighted clips to be removed. 'YouTube now needs the cooperation of copyright owners for its filtering system to work, because the technology requires copyright holders to provide copies of the video they want to protect so YouTube can compare those digital files to material being uploaded to its website. This means that movie and TV studios will have to provide decades of copyright material if they don't want it to appear on YouTube, or spend even more time scanning the site for violations.'"

One step down the path for Google to catalog every movie ever made, and provide live streaming of any movie you want direct to your home!

And just imagine if the individual videos were searchable.

Hey, RIAA, please send me all your original media and I'll make sure there are no shared copies of any of it in my collection ;-)
