YouTube is just about done with their automated copyright filtering system that was originally supposed to launch last year. Google CEO Eric Schmidt calls it “Claim Your Content” and it will help keep copyrighted material off of YouTube by preventing it from being uploaded in the first place.

You’re either doing business with them or being sued by them… we chose the former, but ended up the latter.”
