MySpace has launched a new copyright protection software that prevents users from reposting videos that have been already been removed at the request of the copyright holder. From today's press release: Quote: Take Down Stay Downâ„¢, an innovative new feature for copyright holders that prevents users from re-posting video content in the MySpace community after that content has been removed at the request of the copyright owner. MySpace is the first internet company to launch this type of sophisticated content protection feature, which it is offering to all copyright owners free of charge. Here's how they say it works: Quote: When a content owner informs MySpace that a user has improperly posted its content onto MySpace Videos, not only is the video promptly removed by MySpace, but MySpace also creates a digital fingerprint of the video content and adds it to its copyright filter, which is based on industry-leading Audible Magic technology. If any user tries to upload the same content that has been removed, the filter will recognize the digital fingerprint and block the content from being uploaded. Call me a cynic but hey, we're talking about MySpace here, is there any shot of this working effectively?
