Iam curious as to how they are going to tackle piracy on an international level, especially in countries like china.

Better to find ways how user-generated content principles broaden far beyond fair use protecting the right holder, without intervention of Government and the media community it seems difficult to stop piracy.

That is so true. It will be the on going debate as long as social media sites are popular and in existence.

I know YouTube has began implementing anti-piracy software that’s supposed to instantly detected copyrighted material, but I don’t see how that’s possible really.

There’s really know way to stop piracy because 1) there’s an internet, and 2) people love getting free media and software and don’t consider it stealing.

The elephant in the room here is that these companies are run by corporate executives who think they understand the culture of the Internet when they actually don’t. The unspoken issue is that these players and others like them are not recognizing the natural pattern of behavior that they are fighting against. Instead of coming up with more rules and ways to try and get people to conform they should be spending some serious time thinking about how they can use these patterns to their advantage.

With a bunch of content producers getting together and not inviting the #1 distributor, it seems likely that the conclusion the group came to was that distribution must be stopped, rather than embraced.

I don’t really get the problem the television networks would have with “piracy” anyway. Once the show airs, they don’t really have any other money-making opportunities until they either re-play it, syndicate it, or publish it on DVD. A clip on YouTube is free advertising for a show and all of its future distributions.
