SAN FRANCISCO - Google founder Steve Chen said Thursday the Internet giant is testing video fingerprinting technology to guard copyrights of videos posted at YouTube.
"Today we're experimenting with video identification tools," Chen wrote in a blog posted at the Google website.
"Once accuracy is achieved, the challenge becomes speed and scale to support the millions of people who use YouTube every day."
Google-owned YouTube has been plagued with complaints and lawsuits by film and video owners that accuse it of not filtering copyright-protected works uploaded by users of the superstar video-sharing website.
"We are working with some of the major media companies to test what we have developed," Chen wrote.
"We're excited about the progress so far, and we're dedicated to making these tests successful, but as always with cutting-edge technologies, there's no guarantee of success."
