YouTomb tracks videos taken down from YouTube
YouTomb is a research project by MIT Free Culture that tracks videos taken down from YouTube for alleged copyright violation. YouTomb continually monitors the most popular videos on YouTube for copyright-related takedowns. Any information available in the metadata is retained, including who issued the complaint, how long the video was up, the ratings and views of the video before takedown. These videos are not available for viewing and downloading.
As we know, YouTube generally doesn’t take videos down themselves, but uses a scanning system that automatically notifies rights holders when suspected infringements occur. Whenever YouTube’s automated system finds a matching fingerprint (or part of the fingerprint), it notifies the rights holder. At that point, the rights holder can optionally take down the video.
