And youtube has a sophisticated detection system setup that scans uploads for copyrighted content automatically. I'm thinking with the press this app is getting they are going to be forced to do something similar and block illegal content, or take it offline soon.
- malka 13y agothis is free software. Even if they did that, someone would fork it to bring back the illegal content.
- res0nat0r 13y agoThere is a lot of free software out there that its primary goal is to facilitate copyright infringement, I guess it is just up to the court or whomever to decide if that is the case, and worth pursuing taking it down. (Not saying that the effort could be put in for this case, but just a possibility)...
- kzrdude 13y agoBut it requires copyright holders to be part of it. Most are not, and most can not.
- kzrdude 13y agoIt's actually a very bad system. YouTube with its reporting system has created a de facto situation where rightsholder giants like record companies, their copyrights matter, while the copyrights of the random creator (The Long Tail!) are never enforced. Maybe you are a long tail creator and you police youtube. But most won't. Maybe they can't. Maybe they are dead.
