YouTube cares deeply about the rights of content owners,

YouTube 深切关注内容所有者的各项权益。

but in order to give them choices about what they can do

when copyrighted material is uploaded to our site.

Let's look at a specific video so you can see how it works.

让我们来看这段视频，这样你就可以理解这是怎样工作的。

Two years ago, recording artist Chris Brown

两年前，唱片艺术家克里斯布朗，

released the official video of his single "Forever."

发行了他的单曲，“FOREVER”的官方视频。

A fan saw it on TV,

一名粉丝在电视上看到后，

recorded it with her camera phone,

用她自己的摄像手机录制了下来，

and uploaded it to YouTube.

并上传到Youtube。

Because Sony Music had registered Chris Brown's video

现在，因为索尼音乐公司已经在我们内容身份识别系统中

in our Content ID system,

注册了克里斯 布朗的音乐视频，

within seconds of attempting to upload the video,

就在她试图上传该视频的几秒钟内，

the copy was detected,

这个副本就被检测出来，

giving Sony the choice of what to do next.

然后由索尼音乐公司来决定下一步该怎么办。

But how do we know that the user's video was a copy?

但是我们是如何知道用户的视频是副本的呢？

Well, it starts with content owners

它始于内容所有者

delivering assets into our database,

将资产交付到我们的数据库中，

along with a usage policy

一并随同的还有使用协定，

that tells us what to do when we find a match.

使用协定告诉我们当我们发现一个匹配时，我们该怎样做。

We compare each upload

我们将每一个上传的文件

against all of the reference files in our database.

同数据库中所有参考文件进行比对。

This heat map is going to show you

这张热图向你们展示了

how the brain of the system works.

这个系统的大脑是如何工作的。

Here we can see the original reference file

这里，我们看到原始的参考文件

being compared to the user generated content.

正与用户生成的内容相比较。

The system compares every moment

系统将文件的每分每秒同另一个进行比对，

of one to the other to see if there's a match.

来决定两者是否匹配。

This means that we can identify a match

这意味着我们能决定一个匹配，

even if the copy used is just a portion of the original file,

即便副本仅使用了原文件的一部分，

plays it in slow motion

用慢动作播放，

and has degraded audio and video quality.

降低了音频和视频的质量。

And we do this every time

当一个视频被上传到Youtube上来，

that a video is uploaded to YouTube.

我们每次都要进行比对。

And that's over 20 hours of video every minute.

每分钟比对超过20个小时的视频。

When we find a match,

当我们发现了一个匹配，

we apply the policy that the rights owner has set down.

我们就应用版权所有者所制定的条例。

And the scale and the speed of this system

这个系统的规模和速度

is truly breathtaking.

着实惊人。

We're not just talking about a few videos,

我们不是在说少量的视频。

we're talking about over

我们说的是每天

100 years of video every day,

处理长达一百多年的视频，

between new uploads and the legacy scans

在新上传的视频和我们

we regularly do across all of the content on the site.

定期将网站上所有内容进行的维护性扫描之间。

When we compare those hundred years of video,

当我们比对了那些长达百年的视频时，

we're comparing it against millions

我们将他们同我们数据库中

of reference files in our database.

成百上千万的参考视频做对比。

It would be like 36,000 people

这就好比36000个人

staring at 36,000 monitors

每人每天不停地盯着36000个显示器，

each and every day, without so much as a coffee break.

连喝咖啡的时间都没有。

Now, what do we do when we find a match?

那当我们找到一个匹配后，我们做些什么呢？

Well, most rights owners, instead of blocking,

大多数版权拥有者，不是禁止，

will allow the copy to be published.

反而允许发行副本。

And then they benefit through the exposure,

这样他们从曝光率，

advertising and linked sales.

广告和链接销售中获利。

Remember Chris Brown's video "Forever"?

记得克里斯 布朗的视频，“Forever"吗？

Well, it had its day in the sun and then it dropped off the charts,

它经历了它的光辉岁月后就退出了排行榜。

and that looked like the end of the story,

看起来这就是故事的结局。

but sometime last year, a young couple got married.

但去年的某个时候，一对年轻夫妇结婚了。

This is their wedding video.

You may have seen it.

I mean, who are these people?

I totally want to go to that wedding.

So their little wedding video went on

to get over 40 million views.

And instead of Sony blocking,

索尼公司没有禁止，

they allowed the upload to occur.

相反他们允许上传这个视频。

And they put advertising against it

and linked from it to iTunes.

将它链接到iTunes中。

And the song, 18 months old,

这首歌，发行18个月后，

went back to number four on the iTunes charts.

又重新回到了iTune榜单的第四名。

So Sony is generating revenue from both of these.

所以，索尼公司从两方面赚了钱。

they came back from their honeymoon

The "JK Wedding [Entrance] Dance" became so popular

that NBC parodied it on the season finale of "The Office,"

which just goes to show,

这表明了

it's truly an ecosystem of culture.

Because it's not just amateurs borrowing from big studios,

And all it took to change things around

was to allow for choice through rights identification.

So why has no one ever solved this problem before?

It's because it's a big problem,

因为这是一个大问题，

and it's complicated and messy.

很复杂也很凌乱。

It's not uncommon for a single video

to have multiple rights owners.

一点也不稀奇。

There's musical labels.

还有音乐商标。

There's multiple music publishers.

我们有多个音乐出版商。

And each of these can vary by country.

每个都随国家的不同而改变。

There's lots of cases

很多情况下

where we have more than one work mashed together.

So we have to manage many claims

to the same video.

多种说法。

YouTube's Content ID system addresses all of these cases.

Youtube内容识别系统解决了所有的这些情况。

But the system only works through

但是系统仅仅适用于

the participation of rights owners.

参与了的版权所有者。

If you have content that others are uploading to YouTube,

如果你的内容被其他用户上传到Youtube，

you should register in the Content ID system,

你应该注册到内容识别系统中，

and then you'll have the choice

这样当属于你的内容被使用，

about how your content is used.

And think carefully about the policies that you attach to that content.

要仔细想清楚附在内容中的条款。

By simply blocking all reuse,

you'll miss out on new art forms,

你就失去了新的艺术形式，

new audiences,

新的观众，

new distribution channels

新的分销渠道

and new revenue streams.

But it's not just about dollars and impressions.

Just look at all the joy

that was spread through progressive rights management

通过进步的版权管理和新技术

and new technology.

所传播的快乐。

And I think we can all agree that joy is definitely an idea worth spreading.
