Video-sharing sites like News Corp's MySpace and Google's YouTube face problems with their users posting copyrighted original and doctored videos without authorization. Both companies are trying to negotiate rights agreements with major content owners.
MySpace this week implemented a pilot program that seeks to block videos containing unauthorized copyrighted content from being posted on its site. The move makes MySpace the largest Internet video site to offer free video filtering to copyright holders.
It will use Audible Magic's fingerprinting technology to screen the videos its users upload and block any that match a fingerprint in MySpace's database.
