Det får nu anses klarlagt att EU:s nya upphovsrättsdirektiv kommer att leda till att allt som folk laddar upp – i vart fall på Facebook – kommer att förhandsgranskas, analyseras och i förekommande fall censureras.
Torrentfreak rapporterar:
»In a recent meeting organized by the European Commission, Facebook explained in detail how this automated system works. The meeting was organized to create a dialogue between various parties about possible solutions for the implementation of Article 17.
In Facebook’s presentation Dave Axelgard, product Manager for Rights Manager, explained how automated matching of copyrighted content takes place on the social media network. He also detailed what actions rightsholders can take in response, and how users can protest misuse and abuse of the system.«
Den goda nyheten är att Facebook anstränger sig för att komma tillrätta med felaktiga och falska upphovsrättsliga anspråk:
»Facebook works hard to catch and prevent these types of misuse and abuse, to ensure that its automated detection system doesn’t remove legitimate content. This is also something to keep in mind for the implementation of possible ‘upload filters’ with the introduction of Article 17. (…)
Facebook tries to limit abuse through a variety of measures. The company limits access to its Rights Manager tool to a select group of verified copyright holders. In addition, it always requires playable reference files, so all claims can be properly vetted.«
Men det finns fortfarande problem:
“Our matching system is not able to take context into account. It’s just seeking to identify whether or not two pieces of content matched to one another,” Axelgard said, responding to a question from Communia’s Paul Keller.
Vilket är precis vad upphovsrättsdirektivets kritiker varnat för från första början.
