Comments on: Google unveils YouTube antipiracy tool

New video ID system uses image recognition to match pirated video with copyrighted clips. But it's up to copyright owners to provide YouTube with reference video.

If this works Google will loose billions..!!

Take out all of the stuff everyone's really looking at (wink wink) on
YouTube and what's left...?? Kiddies with web cams..!! With exciting
entertainment like that I wonder now just which century was
Google hoping to re-coup it's 3 billion...???

If this works, Google will MAKE Billioins!

Well, my take on this is that right now Google is that the ad revenue will benefit both Google and the copyright owners. The popularity of the uploaded clips will only promote the original content. We would all rather be watching the original clips than watching the blurred, badly compressed versions. I fully support ad sponsored free content on the Internet.

Hypocrazy Rule$. Users Get Used.

wow. droolgle buys tubescrewed for $1.5 gazillion. they figure to write off at least 1.5 of that in lawyers' fees to settle copywrongs. said copywrongs then pay for themselves, even though your rights as consumer are further reduced because you get sued, too. see: RIAA. so in essence: droolgle buys itself a brand name built on piracy, you pay for it eternally, then they pass along lawyers eager to rape you further to buy 'the future, mr. gittes, the future.' a future without you except as the global village idiot. some corporapes are more equal than others.

the pirate bay TV launced

Those guys at the Pirate bay have the biggest balls on the internet.

The video sharing site they decided to make after the Youtube's copyright fiasco has launched.

Look at all those popular shows, and that got full seasons up and available. I think copyright holders met their match when it comes to Pirate Bay.

And afterwards?

Once all the pirated stuff -- the good stuff -- has been removed,
what will be left but adolescents engaged in puerile antics?
YouTube has been a trove of cultural artifacts left languishing by
copyright holders. Other than that, and speeches by Ron Paul, it
isn't worth spit.
