The Viacom story is developing further will it be the trigger to break down 450 base of the recent Double Top:
"This is very difficult to do in a comprehensive way. I was VP of product development at Napster when the RIAA and Federal judge asked us to filter out all copyrighted music. It was difficult with music...it will be nearly impossible for video.
The problem is completeness. You can put together hashing algorithms and "finger printing" techniques to find the obvious stuff...maybe 80% of teh copyrighted content. The remaining 20% is nearly impossible to identify with precision and completeness.
The judge in the Napster case demanded 100% compliance, not 90% or 95%...100%. There was no way to effectively do it so the judge just shut Napster down.
The truth is that Viacom probably couldn't provide a 100% accurate list of their clips either.
This could get ugly.
