And we do this every time that a video is uploaded to YouTube. And that’s over 20 hours of video every minute. When we find a match, we apply the policy that the rights owner has set down. And the scale and the speed of this system is truly breathtaking. We’re not just talking about afww videos, we’re talking about over 1000 years of video day, between new uploads and the legacy scans we regularly do across all of the content on the site. When we compare those hundred years of video, we’re comparing it against millions of reference files in our database. it would like 36,000 people staring 36,000 monitors each and every day, without so much as a coffee break. Now, what do we do when we find a match? Well, most rights owners, instead of blocking, will allow copy to be published. And then they benefit through the exposure, advertising and linked sales.
the system compares every moment. of one to the to her to see if there’s a match.
this means that we can identify a match even if the copy used is just a portion of the original file, plays it in slow motion and has degraded audio and video quality.
