Google, video DRM, spammers flatulent llamas.
This is very reminiscent of the music industry a few years ago when they tried to have laws passed that would have allowed them to access anyone's machine remotely and delete/disable any MP3 that they thought was illegal. From the way it's written, it appears that the intent would be for content owners to be able to insert ads into video no matter where it resides on the internet. This could be used for good, but I think that it has tremendous potential to be used by spammers for evil. The question becomes, who decides what video content will have ads inserted into it, and who polices the people with the technology to prevent it from being used in nefarious ways? Legitimate owners could digital DNA to identify video clips, but the application of technology to insert ads has tremendous potential for abuse. Or not. Could Peace Be Near for YouTube and Hollywood? Google has also piqued the interest of some in Hollywood with new ad-delivery and content-tracking technology that the company is developing, according to three studio executives who spoke to CNET News. Google could one day enable content owners to insert ads into unauthorized video clips wherever they might be posted online.
