MySpace, guarding its space against illegal music with audio fingerprints
-

YouTube/Google has done it. An ‘experienced veteran’ who unveiled the chess calculations that lies underneath the Google buying YouTube case, said it means Google pressurizing the social network industry to line up with copyright materials.
And it sounds accurate calculations. MySpace, the current biggest hanging place, will start filtering uploaded audio contents. When? Rupert Murdoch still keeps it secret. But the company has contracted Gracenote to check fingerprints of audio files.
Will this stop illegal content? It’s doubtful. Will this stop file-sharing? Not at all, MySpace users are heavy IM users. And big instant messengers like Y! IM with voice offers the Pango peer-to-peer file-sharing plugin. What might MySpace gain in this move? Keeping older users and give another reason to teens to try less monitored social networks.
