A French court has condemned YouTube to pay INA 150,000€ to INA because YouTube did not put in place any filtering system that would deter posting INA copyrighted content. INA is the French National Institute of Audiovisual. Its mission is to archive all broadcast content from French TV and radio stations.

Interestingly, INA hopes that YouTube will install an efficient fingerprint system to detect INA’s content. INA has developed its own fingerprinting technology: Signature. YouTube uses its own fingerprint technology: ContentID.

Thanks OC for the pointer
