YouTube's Anti Piracy System Takes The Weekend Off

Michael Learmonth | June 23, 2008 12:50 PM

colbertyoutube.jpgBy now the greatest minds at Google (GOOG) would have figured out how to keep clips of "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show" off of YouTube, right?

After all, they turned on their Video Identification System in October and declared it a success in April, right? Especially since it's material to a $1 billion lawsuit filed by Viacom (VIA) against Google, winding its way through the system now ... right?

Wrong! This clip of Stephen Colbert aping Bill O'Reilly flashed up on YouTube's "videos being watched right now ..." bar. The video -- which appears to have been lifted straight from the show -- was uploaded Friday and is the first result in a search for "colbert" on YouTube.

Asked about it, a Comedy Central spokeswoman says it doesn't belong there and Viacom will be sending a letter, no doubt CCing their lawyers in the process. It's a good one; watch it below while you can. And if you haven't seen O'Reilly's meltdown, best to watch that first.

I wonder why the networks don't use part of the screen to brand a product logo(the whole time), that way if you post something out of the tv, it gets the ad aswell, and they just get free re-distribution out of youtube's bandwidth

@Gubatron - Beacause that would be annoying beyond words. It wouldn't be long before there would be ad tickers like the headlines on CNN, and logos in all 4 corners of the screen crying for attention every few minutes.
The issue here isn't snitching on YouTube. It's a reality check against YouTube's claim that it has the piracy problem solved or almost solved. This is obviously a TV clip from a show whose owner, Viacom, has sued Google for $1 billion. You'd think they'd make extra certain that Viacom clips didn't sit on YouTube for days as this one did.

No one is saying this is an easy problem to solve. There are plenty of derivative versions of Colbert on YouTube, which are protected by fair use. But this is a sign that YouTube really isn't close.
