eyealike Just Made It Easy to Find Pirates

Spotted some news about this company on TechCrunch, and thought I'd show you their vid.

Billions of pages. Millions of videos. How do you find pirated video content in an environment like that? Well, eyealike has a way to use facial recognition, histograms, and a variety of other things to find pirate videos -- or portions of videos.

It'll even find the stuff if it is cropped or colorized. Once the vid is spotted, the system notifies the copyright holder of the exact online location. And the cease and desists can start flying.

They claim 95% find rates, and zero false positives. Them's some good stats. Check out this vid to see it in demoized action.



Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.
