Hi producers,
Things are coming together for a quite a lot of things in my camp, one of them is something akin to what manwin charge (a lot) for to allow advertising on surfer-uploaded content on their tubes of content that their subscribers own.
I'm going about things differently. Because I'm not manwin, I don't own lots of high-profile tubes, but I do own a brain, so what i've done is:
1. fingerprinted every content on a handful of major tubes (all manwin's tubes are all in there + 5 other majors). 2 million+ videos in total. (sidenote, the amount of duplication in manwin's tube content is astounding!)
2. Got a great algorithm together to hammer against that db and show which tube(s) the queried video is on.
SO, the basics are there for searching for your content on those tubes I've fingerprinted. Note, sites like xhamster are only 15% done, cos they are a frikken pain in the arse, but they'll be completely fingerprinted in ~1-2months.
Of course, those sites already fingerprinted have their new videos added to the db daily. The major crux was doing their entire library, not the daily updates. New tube sites are added as I come across them, but as I don't surf, I
need help identifying them
OK, so why do I want you?
Well, you are the guys producing the content that is going to end up on these tubes. I have an ever-growing database of these tubes.
Ergo, I can find your content.
However, this is where things get tricky - I realise you license your content to others, who, may decide to put that content on a tube - maybe even their own tube. In which case, it's pointless trying to tell you of your content that you sell is on a tube....
What I *want* is to fingerprint your movies to add to a separate master "producers" database, so that other tube sites can plug into this for user uploaded content...
if a user-uploaded video hits your content, it will get flagged and it's up to the tube site owner to decide whether they accept flagged uploaded content or not.
Why is this important? You will get your content fingerprinted and hopefully taken up by the future free tube plugin to check user uploaded content against. THere will also be knock-on effects when I release this fingerprinting to webmasters more generally to check their content against the tubes, but that is out of this scope at the minute.
I hope all this makes sense -
if so, do you agree to have your content fingerprinted? I'll provide all the tools to do this and it won't take up much system resources during fingerprinting. I will custom-develop the script to your own server's requirement, but the server to run the fingerprinter must:
1. run linux
2. have ffmpeg installed
3. have full read access to the videos to be fingerprinted.
If you do agree, you have to agree that the content to be fingerprinted is:
1.
owned by you (regardless of who you licensed it to)
*note* (and this is an edit to enforce) - this is really important - if you are not the owner of a video fingerprinted, you risk contaminating the entire database, so all your fingerprinted videos may be removed from the database...
All that I will store is:
1. your unique identifier as a content producer
2. your unique video ID
3. the fingerprint of the unique video ID
Nothing less, nothing more.
I really hope you will agree to get on board, because this is really vital for what I hope will change this fucked up piracy-driven scenario. It will cost you absolutely nothing and I will do all the work. I don't care how big or small your content db is - I can handle millions. Bandwidth to do this is roughly a few kilobytes per 10megabytes of video... what have you to lose?
please hit me up by email if you want to participate (see sig).
Thanks
