MySpace provide tool for blocking digitally pirated content on their video service
Internet’s most popular social networking service MySpace.com has launched a pilot program to prevent its users from uploading unauthorized copyrighted video material to their web service.
The company said that their video-filtering system is based on fingerprinting technology supplied by Audible Magic.
It would screen video clips posted to the site by its members. Those videos which contain copyrighted material would be blocked from sharing on the service.
The company also provides a tool for content developers to request the removal of unauthorized content.
In other news, media companies have complained that Google’s YouTube.com service is not very open with their own similar tool to detect and prevent digital piracy on their service.

As an Artist and Technologist that is socially responsible I have created two social networking service (www.adelph.us and http://www.darmik.com) to challenge myspace . We should not live in a world that has socially responsible people,(especially artist) giving their content to a giant multi media conglomerate like “News Corp”. How can we as socially responsible individuals give any content to a company and a “SOCIAL” network that does not care about any of the ideas that we hold so dearly ? When we choose to give our content to these types of companies we only help to make them stronger and to fill their pockets with money that will never flow back into our communities or to causes that we are interested in helping. We all know that the choice to use Myspace is not one that is made because the technology is the best. It is one that is made because Myspace is owned by a large Media conglomerate that has the ability to keep all eyes and ear focused on its properties and away from the fact that they make millions of dollars off of content that is given to them for free while giving nothing back to the content owners or to socially responsible causes.
adelph.us has launched a socially responsiblesocial network at
