YouTube implements copyright content filtering tool

On October 15, YouTube officially launched a content filtering tool that automatically removes pirated video clips.

Content producers now have the right to prevent their products from appearing on YouTube. In addition, the tool also allows manufacturers to sell ads that profit directly from video clips that have been illegally posted to YouTube by users.

During nearly 2 years of existence on the internet, content piracy has been considered a 'common cultural phenomenon' on YouTube. And the content filtering tool launched this time is expected to help ease tensions about copyright issues between vendors and content producers.

It can be said that this launch tool is aimed at the main content of video clips because YouTube now has its own music content filtering tool. Previously, YouTube often removed only video clips of copyright infringement at the manufacturer's request. Lack of tools for filtering video clips has forced YouTube to deal with many copyright infringement lawsuits. The most prominent is Viacom Inc which sues and demands YouTube to pay up to $ 1 billion in damages.

Stress about copyright issues between YouTube and content producers increases in proportion to the number of visitors to YouTube simply because producers or broadcasters can hardly sit still when they see the content. I had to spend money to get free to provide completely free on YouTube.

And the situation is getting worse when producers see YouTube triggering an explosion in the number of similarly functional websites that appear like mushrooms that grow after rain on the Internet. Their content is more widely distributed.

YouTube product manager David King said that since YouTube merged with Google, experts of the two companies have worked closely together to develop the content filtering tool above. But it took 6 months to get results yesterday.

Louis Solomon, a lawyer representing the Premier League and music publisher Bourne Co, in a copyright infringement lawsuit against YouTube, announced that YouTube's new content filtering tool is not new.

' It is no different from what it was before and cannot protect our products in the future. YouTube needs to work closely with content producers to get the most out of it . '
