Kate Cox. Ars Technica; CBS’ overzealous copyright bots hit Star Trek virtual Comic-Con panel
"Media companies that usually have a large presence at events like
SDCC worked hard to create streaming alternative content—but it seems
they forgot to tell their copyright bots.
ViacomCBS kicked things off today with an hour-long panel showing off its slew of current and upcoming Star Trek projects: Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds...
Even if the presentation didn't look like a real episode of Discovery to the home viewer, it apparently sounded close enough: after the Star Trek
Universe virtual panel began viewers began to lose access to the
stream. In place of the video, YouTube displayed a content ID warning
reading: "Video unavailable: This video contains content from CBS CID,
who has blocked it on copyright grounds."
After being blacked out for about 20 minutes, the panel was restored, and the recording of the virtual panel has no gaps in playback."

YouTube protects copyright with artificial intelligence; The Australian, 11/29/16
Chris Griffith, The Australian; YouTube protects copyright with artificial intelligence:
"YouTube is using artificial intelligence to thwart a game of cat and mouse by users circumventing copyright. The Google-owned service already has algorithms for detecting copyright movie, video and music content that users post on YouTube. Over the years, some users have developed tricks for getting around detection. Some have posted video with colours reversed, or images of each frame reversed vertically or horizontally. Other techniques include altering colours, changing the aspect ratio, cropping frames and using a halo effect. The idea is to make video unrecognisable as copyright content... YouTube however is fighting back. It has been delving into the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning to dissemble video and music, and outfox these cunning operators. “That’s what we’re using machine learning for, to take out these things, and to work out they are the same image,” said Harris Cohen, senior product manager of Content ID at YouTube."

YouTube Deals Turn Piracy Into Revenue; New York Times, 9/3/10
Claire Cain Miller, New York Times; YouTube Deals Turn Piracy Into Revenue:
"In the past, Lions Gate, which owns the rights to the “Mad Men” clip, might have requested that TomR35’s version be taken down. But it has decided to leave clips like this up, and in return, YouTube runs ads with the video and splits the revenue with Lions Gate.
Remarkably, more than one-third of the two billion views of YouTube videos with ads each week are like TomR35’s “Mad Men” clip — uploaded without the copyright owner’s permission but left up by the owner’s choice. They are automatically recognized by YouTube, using a system called Content ID that scans videos and compares them to material provided by copyright owners."
