A lot of people watch YouTube videos at work. A few are actually paid to do it. Mr. Bersik works at BayTSP Inc., an eight-year-old start-up with big clients like Viacom Inc., the parent of MTV Networks. BayTSP employs more than 20 video analysts -- sometimes called "hashers" -- who watch videos looking for copyright violations.
That's right, human beings not only algorithms are involved in the process.
Although this article has a clear focus on YouTube, it would be interesting to know if BayTSP monitors other video sites? We're betting they do for their clients. Other video hosting and sharing sites? There are plenty of them. This list offers a look at more than 80 services.
So, if it the content is removed from one service the question becomes how easy is it to post it somewhere else. We've pointed out sites like Alluc.org that track this type of thing. Alluc.org has also been mentioned in the WSJ, NY Times, and The Guardian.
