Copyright Tool Will Scan Web For Violations

Copyright Tool Will Scan Web For Violations
by KEVIN J DELANEY
The Wall Street Journal, publication date: 18 December 2006
"To deal with the mounting copyright issues swirling around video and other content online, a start-up founded by some respected Silicon Valley executives is taking a novel approach: combing the entire Web for unauthorized uses.

Privately held Attributor Corp. of Redwood City, Calif., has begun testing a system to scan the billions of pages on the Web for clients' audio, video, images and text -- potentially making it easier for owners to request that Web sites take content down or provide payment for its use."

It would be better if this would take effect soon. For the benefit of everybody.
