MySpace to Use Audio Fingerprinting

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the your-server-is-listening dept.

  1. Just like real finger printing today... by jackb_guppy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Will it be based NOT on science?

    What is an audio finger print really? If it is sample of 10 notes, is that enough? What of 200 notes?

    How does "I want a new drug" and "ghostbusters" match up? Are they the same tune even though they are half a bar out of sync. A court had to deside that one.

    Will there be a court to deside when it is wrong? Or has GOOGLE crossed the evil line?
