Agreed; also, turn it around and it becomes a user-generated-content tool as well. As in anything that goes viral, the brand owner can take ownership of and exploit as an unauthorized derivative work, free of any user recourse.

Well, except Fair Use, but I'd hope that's part of their model to consider, because it's important I think.

But nobody really knows what fair use means. We have a general idea but that's it.

That's a promising move by Facebook. Maybe they're finally going to start cracking down on the rampant freebooting that dominates their platform.

Might be a smart move by Facebook: if this technology was used on Facebook, then they might have to shut down half of Facebook. Better to buy them out.

Possibly, but they could also choose to enforce copyright claims on people who can pay. Or maybe facebook just doesn't care about my meme pages and wants to purge them so I spend more time looking at branded content.

I'm guessing something like a "Let's Go Crazy Babydance" detector. Combine Shazam with image recognition seeded with brands and product images and you can cover a lot of UGC with takedowns or ad rev takeovers.

It looks like it's a system similar to contact ID. I hope this helps slow down all the free booting.
