Benefits of technology

Enables more accurate and context-aware handling of user-generated content, balancing copyright protection with fair use principles, allowing for distribution while ensuring appropriate compensation and compliance with copyright regulations.

Problems solved by technology

Part of the difficulty is that some of the content uploaded to web sites may include copyrighted material, yet qualify as “fair use”—such as parody, or commentary / criticism.
Existing automated techniques do not make provision for “fair use” (nor for “tolerated use”).
Instead, known techniques typically flag as objectionable any content that is determined to include any copyrighted material.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Consider an embodiment that examines uploaded content (e.g., a video uploaded to MySpace, or YouTube), to identify portion(s) that have been derived from one or more pre-existing (reference) works. Using a technique such as fingerprinting, or digital watermark decoding, such a process may automatically determine that an uploaded video includes a ten second clip taken from the opening scene of the movie Dirty Harry, showing Clint Eastwood say, “Go ahead, make my day.” The video may further include a government archive clip of Ronald Reagan, threatening to veto tax-increase legislation by using the same phrase, as well as a clip from the movie Back to the Future III, where Marty utters the same phrase. The video may also be found to include, as an underlying soundtrack, the entirety of the Eminem's song “Mosh.”

[0013]Another example (long popular on YouTube) is the “Evolution of Dance” video, which shows Judson Laipply dancing briefly to excerpts of 30 popular songs (parenthetica...

Abstract

Content uploaded to a video distribution service is analyzed to determine if a portion matches part of any reference work. If a match is found, treatment of the uploaded content is determined based on stored rule data, and based on one or more factors. These factors can include, e.g., the length of the matching portion, the part of the reference work from which the matching portion was apparently copied, the confidence of the match, the popularity of the uploaded content (or of the reference work), the geography from which the content was uploaded (or the geography to which it is to be downloaded), etc. Further determinations may be made by human evaluators (including crowd-source approaches). A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
