Copyright Cops Gain New Weapon: Attributor Corp.

Copyright Cops Gain New Weapon: Attributor Corp.
by Barbara Quint.

“That’s mine! Hands off!” The cry persists as digital technology continues to erode the efficacy of intellectual property rights. Now, Attributor Corp. (www.attributor.com) offers to scan the Web for text, audio, video, and images belonging to its clients. Using a technique called “digital fingerprinting,” Attributor can match a snippet of client content against its Web page indexes to locate usage. After reviewing the alerts and contexts of identified users, clients who discover unauthorized uses can either ask for the removal of material from Web sites or arrange authorization, including license revenue options. Attributor’s first major client is the 161-year-old news cooperative the Associated Press (AP; www.ap.org), which will start with monitoring text but then expand the testing to other formats, e.g., photos and video. Organizations that share or distribute editorial content or information through AP will also use the services. AP and Attributor will also explore co-developing and co-distributing applications.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
