Totally Clueless German Court Says ContentID Isn&#8217;t Good Enough, YouTube Must Block Infringement By Keywords | Techdirt</a>: &#8220;Unfortunately, the court has now ruled in the case, and the results seem ridiculous. It has said that YouTube is liable when users post videos (third party liability concepts still just don&#8217;t make sense to German courts). Even more ridiculous, however, is that the court has said that YouTube&#8217;s famous ContentID system is not enough. Instead, it must also install a keyword-based filter to block GEMA songs from being uploaded. Keyword-filters? Really. We&#8217;ve done this before a bunch of times and it doesn&#8217;t work. At all. Keyword filters are really stupid ways to deal with these kinds of things. First off, they tend to block all sorts of legitimate content. But, more importantly, users figure out how to get around them in less than an hour. They just start coming up with easy-to-decipher substitutes. Comparing a keyword filter to ContentID is like comparing a human strapping on wings to a modern fighter plane. One of them works and can actually get the job done. One of them just makes you look like an idiot. &#8220;</p> <p>(Via <a></a>.)</p>http://blog.motionbug.com/post/21570494011http://blog.motionbug.com/post/21570494011Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:26:12 +0200GEMAsucks<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Obg7kvrLON8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Psychedelic Anti-Marijuana PSA “I’M HERE FIND ME” (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Obg7kvrLON8" target="_blank">RemLezar</a>)</p>http://blog.motionbug.com/post/21569991017http://blog.motionbug.com/post/21569991017Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:16:05 +0200“Welcome to bashoneliners.com, a place for practical or just pure awesome bash one-liners or shell script tips and tricks for GNU Linux, UNIX or BSD systems.
