While reading some of the required blogs, I found an article relating directly to today's class discussion. John Battelle's Searchblog has an interesting blog post entitled "Chill Out, Big Media, We're On It" about anti-piracy technology for YouTube. Google recently made the announcement that it will soon offer this technology to protect copyrighted material on YouTube.
The most interesting part, however, can be found in the comments. According to commenting bloggers, Google has had the ability and know-how to create this sort of technology for years. (One blogger suggested that he told Google to begin creating this technology five years ago!) The primary viewpoint among bloggers is as follows: Google should have had anti-piracy technology in place before purchasing YouTube.
Regardless, it seems as if Google will soon be protecting copyrighted material. Will Google next face copyright issues with its cached pages?
