In order to minimize the concerns of the critical media content providers, Google adopted new strategy against video piracy for the popular YouTube website.

In the reviewers’ view, the new Google system called YouTube Video Identification is laudable, though all are expecting to see how efficient it will prove itself to be. Viacom Inc., the American media conglomerate, will identify the content on the website and will control the way in which it will be made available, this way becoming more accurate the identifying of potentially infringing videos.



At the products tests, important companies have assisted, including Time Warner Inc. and Walt Disney Co., and Mike Fricklas, general counsel of Viacom, declared:

"We're delighted that Google appears to be stepping up to its responsibility and ending the practice of profiting from infringement."

If you remember, Viacom had filled copyright-infringement class-action lawsuit against YouTube, claiming $1 billion, but since Monday, when Google made the announcement and until this moment, there are no court records of a give-up to this litigation.
