It is reported at physorg.com by ANICK JESDANUN, AP Internet Writer that myspace is starting to filter out copyrighted materials. Physorg reports as follows:

MySpace is licensing technology from Audible Magic Corp., which late last year obtained rights to a system for scanning video clips and looking for signature vectors – such as a unique digital fingerprint – to compare with vectors stored in a database. Video can be blocked from appearing on MySpace when there is a match.
