“If we’re asked to take something down, we will.” That was pretty much the answer to my question of Suzie Reider, CMO of YouTube, during Tuesday’s keynote: “With regard to YouTube and copyright: Whether Comedy Central posts The Daily Show on YouTube or not, there are thousands and thousands of clips of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert posted. A significant percentage of YouTube users upload clips that are mashups using copyrighted material, outright clips of copyrighted material, unauthorized uses of copyrighted songs, copyrighted photographs, and so on. How can you manage the copyright issue to the satisfaction of the copyright holders while maintaining YouTube’s unique personality?” Oh, and something else about digital fingerprinting. As the guy across the Grand Ballroom aisle said to me: “She totally dodged the question.” YouTube won’t be able to for much longer. http://www.adtechblog.com/2661/
