I'm pretty sure that YouTube has software to detect content no matter where it appears. I'm pretty sure they don't let us in on that technology. I'm somewhat sure that the new trend of people taping their TV screen and then uploading that is one way around the software.

I think you are right. There was a TED lecture by one of the Youtube people talking about how they are able to scan (probably similar to TinEye) videos to detect copyrighted content. http://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_st...copyright.html

Digital rights ecosystem... blah blah blah. The good news is that at the end of the day SONY still managed to make a hijillion dollars by doing next to nothing and letting other people do their advertising for them. So that's cool.
