I've seen in the news that Myspace has aquired some anti-copyright technology
of Gracenote to stop people uploading unauthorised material. Anybody know
how it works?
The reason I ask is that I just tried to upload a song I wrote last night
and it's claiming it's a copyrighted peice, and yet I know I wrote it, and
would be quite astounded if anybody else had written the same peice.
Yes it borrows some ideas from Radiohead timing wise, but the timing is definably
different from the Radiohead song from which it was inspired, and the chord
progression, melody etc are totally different. I don't see especially how
any electronicly based monitoring system would pick a minor thing like that
up...?
I'm thinking they're still tweaking the system...
Cheers,
Kim.

OK, that sounds plauseable.
I have a new mix now so I'll try adding it again.
Thanks just-cron.
Cheers,
Kim.
