YouTombYouTomb Catalogs YouTube Videos Removed Over CopyrightsAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on May 20, 2008 - 11:49am.
Los Angeles - A group at MIT called Free Culture has created a project called YouTomb, which aims to amass a listing of all videos removed from YouTube (NASD: GOOG) due to allegations of copyright infringement or other reasons, the Google Operating System blog reported. "Any information available in the metadata is retained, including who issued the complaint and how long the video was up before takedown. The goal of the project is to identify how YouTube recognizes potential copyright violations as well as to aggregate mistakes made by the algorithm," reads a note on the site. YouTomb is currently monitoring 157,340 videos, and has identified 4,389 videos taken down for alleged copyright violations, and 13,330 taken down for other reasons. |
