UGC-sites impose content filters on samples

The largest media and Internet companies have joined forces to develop a copyright protection standard for UGC content. A joint statement on this was published by CBS, Dailymotion, Fox Entertainment, Microsoft, MySpace, NBC, Veoh Networks, Viacom and Walt Disney.

Of course, first of all they are concerned about the problem of “leakage” of their own content on the Internet. The right holders are in no way satisfied with the current situation when protected content is removed from the site only after a complaint. They would like the content to not be able to get into open access at all, and all UGC-sites have implemented the technology of automatic filtering by samples.

The only problem is that such a high-quality system does not yet exist. There is no technology that effectively identifies illegal content. Some experts generally doubt that its creation is possible at least theoretically. A few days ago, Google began testing a copyright filter on Youtube , but this was done under the brutal pressure of media corporations, and the automatic filter works just awful and blocks thousands of legal videos.
