I agree. The exact matching is ridiculous and isn't going to find anything but videos that are either directly from the studios or mass downloaded from somewhere else. Only one byte of the file needs to be changed for the hash values not to match. As far as the audio, I'd imagine that it will be similar to Verizon's V Cast Song Id where you play a song into the phone and get back the song title, artist, etc. I read that there are a lot of false positives. Like you said I don't think they are going to actually check anything and it's advantageous for copyright holders to have false positives because they can control other folks stuff. . . . kenya allmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kenya.allmond.us vm/f 202.478.0490 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
