YouTube Announces New Copyright Management Infrastructure

MarketWire:

By the end of the year, professional content creators, including record labels, TV networks and movie studios, will have the opportunity to authorize the use of their content within the YouTube community by taking advantage of YouTube's new tools and architecture. YouTube has been actively working on the operational details and building the infrastructure for this innovative new framework, which will offer media companies the following:

-- Sophisticated tools to help content owners identify their content on
the site;
-- Automated audio identification technology to help prevent works
previously removed from the site at the request of the copyright owner from
reappearing on the site;
-- The opportunity to authorize and monetize the use of their works
within the user-generated content on the site;
-- Reporting and tracking systems for royalties, etc.
