Tech News - NEC Develops Pirate ID Technology

Pirates Beware, NEC has developed a new tool that can analyze video determine if the content is pirated.

NEC said the software has a 96% accuracy rate or false alarm rate of 1 in 200,000. The technology works by generating a compact signature (about 76 bytes per frame) and compares it to a signature of the original. It can even detect alterations to the original when subtitles are added or added languages.

NEC hopes its anti-piracy software will reduce the time, cost, and inaccuracy associated with manually seeking out illegal videos online.
