Google Says It Won’t 'Manually' Review YouTube Vids for Infringement

Google-owned YouTube on Thursday corrected a statement it made the day before, and now says the company will not manually review copyright-infringement claims before its system automatically blocks disputed footage.

The mishap occurred when Thabet Alfishawi, rights management product manager for YouTube, wrote in a YouTube blog post: “We’ve improved the algorithms that identify potentially invalid claims. We stop these claims from automatically affecting user videos and place them in a queue to be manually reviewed.”

But what he meant to say was that some of the automatic matches will be sent to be reviewed “by the content owner” — not by Google, the search giant said Thursday.
