Now it’s bad news for video pirates! Many copyrights owners have had sleepless nights because of the many fold faces of Digital piracy. Few months back Google has assured the video sharing website YouTube of developing a video recognition anti-piracy tool. Goolge along with a number of media companies had come forward with a software to stop uploading of copyrighted videos on the website. This task was not an easy task as each video needed to have a digital fingerprint and this made it difficult to completely automate process.
Finally, with an open-ended solution and cooperation from video file owners, Google developed this cutting edge technology called video ID technology. This technology can recognize copyrighted video files within minutes of their upload onto the site. The theory behind this tool is to maintain a database of video content IDs and crosschecking every new file that is uploaded. Once an ID is found to be copyrighted the tool can either block or upload it with some advertisements or as specified with the content owners.
Google has made it clear that though the content owners and YouTube have to work on a large scale to provide an ID to each and every video file. It is all for the benefits of copyright owners so that no one else would be eating out of their platters anymore. So now no sleepless nights for content copyright owners.
