News Corp. warns YouTube. In other news…
Cory Bergman October 4th, 2007
Let’s see. YouTube is testing filtering technology that they’ve been promising for, like, forever. They’re being sued by Viacom. And News Corp. and NBCU are preparing to launch Hulu. Shocking I know, but New Corp. CEO Peter Chernin has this to say, “YouTube could do a much more aggressive job about taking down content that is a copyright violater…. It’s pretty safe to say that they [Google] have the technology available…it’s publicly available and I haven’t yet heard a lot about Google being technologically constrained.”

Why take stuff down at all? YouTube is the world’s Id, the catalog of its media desires. It is the greatest tool for media market research yet devised. Why not sell ads–for paid downloads, for DVDs, for CDs, etc.–next to the “offending” material and give the people the chance to *buy* what they want.
