Broadcasters, movie producers and media publishers of all types have access to a new search technology that can scan the Internet to discover Web sites that are illegally distributing copyrighted video and images.
ACID (Automatic Copyright Infringement Detection), developed by the Virage division of Autonomy, can detect illegally posted rich media in any format wherever it is posted, according to Autonomy founder and CEO Michael Lynch. Autonomy officially introduced the ACID technology in a press conference here on April 4.
“Acid watches very large amounts of video and it can spot video that is owned by someone else,” in a highly automated process, Lynch said.
It could be used to detect movies, television clips or any copyrighted media posted, for example, on YouTube, on personal Web sites or on any other Web site, according to company officials.

Well if I posted illegal content on my site this would be a problem but I don’t so no issue. The problem I see here is what if someone has something posted and it is red flagged as being illegal but it really isn’t?
I am going to assume this uses crawler technology so all a person has to do is block crawling software if I am not mistaken its illegal to crawl a site that blocks crawlers.
