NEW YORK ? Video-sharing network YouTube said its video recognition technology, which has been in the testing phase for the past month, should be in place in September.

During a Viacom vs. YouTube trial in Manhattan today, lawyer Philip S. Beck told U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton that YouTube was working "very intensely and cooperating" with major content providers to develop its fingerprinting technology and have it ready for use in the fall.

Viacom and independent music publisher Bourne Co. both filed suits against YouTube for copyright infringement, which were brought before Stanton in court today.

Beck said that the digital fingerprint will cause the file-sharing system to shut down immediately after a user attempts to share a copyrighted video.

Sounds awesome, wonder how weel it will work

So we will all get a fingerprinter scanner? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

youtube already uses a video fingerprint, it catches some stuff but its generally pretty shitty.

Ah.... The war goes on. Doesn't anyone understand the rules of escalation?

Sounds like youtube is turning into another napster. You can't share videos, music, technology with eachother and everyone gets bitchy

yea that system will work for all of about 5 minutes :1orglaugh
