Experimenting with the YouTube audio fingerprinting system
- alx 17y agoReally interesting reading, to learn how Youtube build its signature, and the get the works-for-all solution: increase your copyrighted music speed by 5%, ingenius :)
- zemaj 17y agoGreat read! It would be nice if someone tested if 5% increases in video content also get through. I wonder if this will lead to a new generation of piracy on YouTube,
- norova 17y agoFantastic read, thanks for sharing!
- quilby 17y agoDoes anyone know if YouTube actually removes clips containing parts of copyrighted films? I doubt it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_fingerprinting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_fingerprinting
- mdd 17y agoWe've been hearing lately that "the kids" prefer the degraded sound quality of MP3 files: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=511615 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=511615 Anyone want to bet that, a year or two from now, we'll be reading that "the kids" prefer listening to sped-up music? Also, I object to The Waitresses being labelled "one hit wonders". The author apparently forgot about the ubiquitous holiday song "Christmas Wrapping".
- kwamenum86 17y agoA 165 second chunk from the end of the song passed as well. One may only need a slightly altered mix of the song to circumvent the audio filter.
- eru 17y agoHow about only speeding up the first 30s for 5% and then slowly going back to the natural pace?
- kwamenum86 17y ago"Apparently they don't really care about repeat infringers" I would be careful about operating under this assumption. Google's habit of locking out accounts across all of their services is well-documented. You wouldn't want that to happen over something silly.
- queensnake 17y agoEh - what's the bet some do-gooder Googler reads HN and lowers the thresholds / throws in some more types of checking, and it's an arms race, and this person will have just helped them to improve. Still, /someone/ had to do it.
- zandorg 17y agoAs I keep saying on HN, if people hosted 9mb clips on their own webserver, with Flash video streaming technology, there would be no way of censoring it. Not quite off-topic, but related is: Can you currently stream Flash video off an Apache webserver? If not, would a startup writing a plugin for it be a good opportunity?
