YouTube Filtering Is On-Line
ghostcorps writes "After months of promises to IP-holders, the long-awaited filters system for YouTube has gone online. The new system will make it easier, the company claims, for copyrighted clips to be removed. 'YouTube now needs the cooperation of copyright owners for its filtering system to work, because the technology requires copyright holders to provide copies of the video they want to protect so YouTube can compare those digital files to material being uploaded to its website. This means that movie and TV studios will have to provide decades of copyright material if they don't want it to appear on YouTube, or spend even more time scanning the site for violations.'"
Wow, shills come early today! Someone mark the parent -1 already to save us some time...apparently they've never looked on wikipedia either. Wikipedia states: "An affirmative defense is simply a term of art from litigation reflecting the timing in which the defense is raised. It does not distinguish between "rights" and "defenses," and so it does not characterize the substance of the defendant's actions as "not a right but a defense."
One day, the trolls will evolve. They will stab themselves in the throats, and society will steal their shoes as gratitude. Too bad it took me 5 seconds longer to post the reply than it took the troll to make it.
