YouTube/Google Selling Out?
By Robert | April 17, 2007
It looks like their is a new game for company’s to play on YouTube. It’s called Claim Your Content. Yeas that is actually the name of YouTube’s new content monitoring tool. As far as I can tell, it’s an automated feature that can be used with every user-uploaded video. Content owners, such as the NHL and the NBA, will have the power to log in and pull any video that they feel is an infringing on their copyright.
It will be interesting to see how many video get pull with out legal battles or even n exchange of emails. To be honest a automated censoring tool is just asking for abuse big the big wigs. I can see why Google may feel that this type of thing is necessary but I think their must be 100 other and much better ways that will have the exact same affect but not be so open to abuse. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said today: “The tool may at least help play down the allegation that YouTube encourages copyright infringement. As that product rolls out, the issue becomes moot,” said Schmidt.
