    Is this the Achilles heel for Youtube?

    http://www.xbiz.com/news/97139

    It's always been pretty obvious that someone somewhere in the operation is checking to see what gets through. Might be exciting to see how soon a porn scene gets deleted compared to a pirated TV scene.

    Sorry if this has been posted, I've been busy the last few days.

    Off to enjoy the weekend with my daughter.

              videos with porn scenes dissapear really FAST, I'm talking from a matter of minutes to a matter of probably 1 hour the most, then your account receives 6 months strike

                      The users police the site, its easy for a user to recognise porn its gets flagged loads of time and its gone, its not so easy for a user to recognise whats copyrighted or not.

                          Well ofcourse they can stop content,for example i tried to upload avp2 trailer and they said that content is copyrighted which i didnt know.

                              That is just utter nonsense. You are telling me it is not easy for a user to recognize a 50-Cent or Justin Timberlake song??? Obviously you don't really believe that just because the Google masters say it.

                              Maybe your post was sarcasm? Anyway this is an interesting article. Youtube is just a big illegal tube site just like tube8. If it can go down then perhaps the others will too.

                                      Partly true, also there are just users flagging porn.

                                      and not flagging comedy channel clips etc....

                                      it's not that they don't recognize copyrighted content, they just don't care.

                                      the network logos are there on the video

                                      maybe we should all spend 10 minutes a day flagging copyrighted content??????


                                      anyways they also might have some sort of algorithm that senses porn in the file somehow.

                                      i know i overlayed some music on a video in my personal youtube account (tom petty)

                                      it was just a video of some dolphins when i was out in my boat. no advertising or anything commercial, just my personal family videos and stuff, all of them.

                                      but somehow a day after i uploaded it youtube sent me an email telling me that i used copyrighted music in that video and that it was ok, because they had permission from TomPetty or whomever to play that music on youtube BUT they had the right to use my video and show certain adds around it.

                                          maybe they have a bot that detects moaning and heavy breathing in the soundtrack is what i am getting at, lol

                                              Ofcourse but that guy breaking his leg on a skateboard could be copyrighted, or that slut singing into her hairbrush could also be. The users cant have the power to decide whats copyrighted because unless they have access to some kind of db its impossible, however it is very easy to say theres a cock going into a pussy thats porn.

                                                      its not so black and white... some record labels allow music videos to be distributed as well as some tv programs...

                                                      pandora's box has been opened and it cant be closed at this point...

                                                      if viacom and others were smart, they would figure out how to get some value out of their stolen content...

                                                          Obviously they can claim that viewers reported the porn to get it pulled down...BUT that little page that comes up warning you it's adult content and you have to check yes that you are over 18 is what is going to be the deal breaker for YouTube. That shows they 100&#37; KNOW and filter what is being uploaded. They are in trouble.

You chop off one and the two new videos of the same content appears hours later. Really tiring and annoying after a while.

Copyrighted movies/music, online - aren't illegal in every country and rights are often granted online. Making it very hard to filter out or know what you need to filter out, without the users telling. And clearly, the users report porn more than non-adult copyrighted material.

                                                                          A wife/mom, is surfing youtube and comes across porn, they will report it. They will call the governor and the feds, followed by burn in hell Christian emails to Google. They probably won't respond the same way when they find the next Jane Fonda work out tape ripped onto youtube.

                                                                          Google's lawyers are pretty damn good, lots of ways to twist out of this one.

That shows they 100% KNOW and filter what is being uploaded. They are in trouble.

Well if they don't allow adult content then why the warning? Makes no sense. They won't allow porn but my nephews surf YouTube all the time, he showed me a video faces of death or whatever and there was a video of a guy getting his dick cut off. WTF? Now THAT was disturbing. Makes no fucking sense.

                                                                                                      every dancer in that video has a legitimate right to upload it to show case their talent as a dancer.
                                                                                                      the same is true for the coregrapher and so on.

I think people might be a tad naive to think Google wouldn't have known the law back to front, and known youtube's compliance within it before making a nearly 2 billion dollar purchase. They aren't your regular tube owner, and I am sure every bit of filtering/removal/detection software, etc they have was built and kept with the law, and how it could effect their compliance, in their mind...

Youtube is one of the few tubes with an actual community that really does work to get adult stuff down fast. Copyrighted stuff, well, I don't think anyone in the community actually minds that. Google's on top of it, they have a real legal team that would of advised them quite adequately on how every function of the site should operate in order to be compliant. Google bought the company expecting legal troubles.

I'm sure Mark Gerragos was telling Scott Peterson it was a slam dunk that he would be found innocent...right up until he went to prison lol

They get bogged down by bureacracy and paperwork and different divisions. Often the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing.

                                                                                                                  For instance that case where Verizon sued ITSELF! One division sued another. LOL

I was away from my own computer and needed to convert some files to flash so I just uploaded them to youtube, waited till they went on-line, downloaded them with a Firefox Plugin, then deleted the files.

                                                                                                                      All were set to private so other users could not see them and several were deleted by youtube almost immediately, before I had a chance to grab them.

Whether they're using filters, humans, both, whatever - Youtube themselves are also removing what they don't want on there.

I was away from my own computer and needed to convert some files to flash so I just uploaded them to youtube, waited till they went on-line, downloaded them with a Firefox Plugin, then deleted the files.

                                                                                                                              All were set to private so other users could not see them and several were deleted by youtube almost immediately, before I had a chance to grab them.

Plus labor is real cheap in the Phillipines. They could hire half that island and have them manually watch every vid for a couple of grand a month LOL

Dancing in a video does not automatically confer copyright rights. The blatant copyright violations on Youtube are just as obvious and just as illegal as the blatant copyright violations on the illegal adult tube sites. Why must everyone pretend otherwise?

                                                                                                                                                                  i would not have to keep bringing up the same "Betamax shit" if you would stop making the same bogus arguement.

                                                                                                                                                                  there is a clear difference between making money by selling access to copyrighted material (selling copies of copyrighted material) and making money off of service that provides a POTENTIAL functional ability to infringe copyright material.

As a result i tell only the truth.

Most people would be smart enough to realize that it can't be wrong and right at the same time.

As a result i tell only the truth.

                                                                                                                                                                              You are the one who wants to apply a test for ciminality that is dependent on transfer of ownership to an economic model with no transfer of ownership.

                                                                                                                                                                              if copyright infringement was theft everyone would be guilty including everyone who explicitly licienced it for use on their tube site.

                                                                                                                                                                              you are the only person in here who explicitly declare an anology to be wrong and then keep using it yourself. Most people would be smart enough to realize that it can't be wrong and right at the same time.

If it is found out that Youtube "filters" its content in any way before it is uploaded (other than for length of filesize) than they are no longer just a host and they most likely be able to hide behind DMCA. Also many Youtube users now have partner accounts and make money off of what they post on the site so if it is found that a copyrighted material is being used by others for profit they could be in trouble.

                                                                                                                                                                                      The first one is really the big one. Without DMCA they are like any other site out there that is posting content and they would then become responsible for that content. They would most likely lose the case with viacom and end up either having to shut the site down or make drastic changes to it in order to keep it open. If Viacom wins people will have to wait in line to sue them because media companies will come out of the woodwork to get a piece of the google pie.

Cuban said. ?They are just breaking the law. The only reason it hasn't been sued yet is because there is nobody with big money to sue.?

You are telling me it is not easy for a user to recognize a 50-Cent or Justin Timberlake song??? Obviously you don't really believe that just because the Google masters say it.

Anyway this is an interesting article. Youtube is just a big illegal tube site just like tube8. If it can go down then perhaps the others will too.

YouTube's users do in fact police the site. They just don't see anything wrong with mainstream copyrighted material being on there, but do have a problem with porn.

They would look for photos that contained a certain % of skintones and they were flagged for review.
