[...] MySpace、著作権保護施策“Take Down and Stay Down（削除して再掲しない）”導入を発表：なんかテキトーな名前だが、当のMySpaceはまるで賞金レースのような意気込みでユーザー生成型違法コピー撲滅を誓っている。今後は音声・動画の版権コンテンツと識別されたものは即時サイトから削除し、フィンガープリントを埋め込み、再掲できないようブロックをかけるらしい。サービスではさらに MySpace上に掲載されている自コンテンツを探すツールを著作権保有者向けに提供するという。この新サービスではAudible Magicを採用したが、これはYouTubeやDailymotionも違法コピー撲滅推進のため使っている技術だ。Metacafeは独自にインターナルなIPコントロールの技術を持っているという風評だし、フィンガープリントのサービスの全体像についてはGigaOmに秀逸なまとめがある。 [...]

USA Video Interactive has a working motion picture watermark technology- SmartMark TM that is focused on enforcement of distributor rights, enabling transactions, not presuming that people want to steal.
What is important in the marking space is no change to quality of content, lightweight mark, robust resistance to degradation, speed of reading, among other attributes of the mark. Equally important is security of the customer information, for both the customer and the content owner ( you don’t want third parites responsible for your customer data) and business models.
The big players in this space have spent a lot of money on complex, heavy solutions that are burdened by ROI demands that the content owners are not able to sustain, much less willing.
While there should be a bull market in marking, (white papers suggest a billion dollar annual market) the challenge is the fact that while the MPAA can calculate an $18Billion loss, no one can show you the pocket it comes out of. None of the business units at the content distributors can show a line item to solve it. Even if they do, there is no bottom line result that can be demonstrated from the investment.
Until enforcement stories attributed to prosecution using marks against enterprise piracy (as opposed to gamer pirates or individuals) the market will be a slow growth one.

"Where were all these guys, Chad and Steve must be asking themselves, when we really needed them"?

Wrong question. Chad and Steve, never had any interest in keeping copyrighted content off their site in the first place.

Jay Audible Magic has also licensed my Video detection technology called Motional Media ID (TM), that they hope to roll out soon and that was featured in a recent NY Times article and several others. Their web site shows the press releases on the subject. MMID (TM) is very powerful and relatively simple and is part of the YouTube and MySpace licenses.

Does anyone else feel that they are like spam/virus protection companies: you can’t really tell if the technology works or not?

I'm sure the Click Fraud Detection companies do. So would anyone working in an area where it is difficult to measure themselves.

What incentive does YouTube have to implement the best video fingerprinting technology? If it is too good, it prevents content that generates high view counts from appearing and how does that affect their monetisation strategy? In the absence of any major content deal, it leaves YouTube with the tail and no head.

Also, once YouTube filters (still waiting - Audible Magic MIA), how does that tip the balance with respect to their DMCA safe harbour arguement?

These are are very tricky shoals for YT to navigate - they need time to consider their response carefully before others pile on, regain some credibility with the content owners and keep Schmidt from shooting from the hip.

Maybe Google will now get more aggressive and argue "fair use".
