Here's the part I find interesting. YouTube's content filtering system would have required UMG to upload a copy of the video (or at least have a copy on hand to generate the fingerprint)...
"YouTube has engineered a filtering system enabling rights holders to upload music and videos they own to a “fingerprinting” database."
Even if UMG isn't guilty of abuse of the DMCA takedown system, might they be guilty of copyright infringement for having made an unauthorized copy of the Megavideo and uploading it as their own? I would really like to know more about how YouTube's fingerprinting system works.

- jonknee 15y ago"Enabling" doesn't mean "require". YouTube lets content owners cut infringement off at the pass by uploading their stuff to detect violations before they occur. You don't need to upload anything to file a DMCA request (I have a feeling that would be illegal). http://www.youtube.com/t/dmca_policy http://www.youtube.com/t/dmca_policy
