a fistful of stories
From last week:
On Monday, Miguel Helft and I profiled the digital fingerprinting companies helping Web 2.0 sites filter user submissions for copyrighted content. Google’s YouTube was seemingly dragging their feet on implementing the technology, but a few days later Google announced they would begin filtering YouTube.
In Wednesday’s paper, I profiled eBay’s marketplaces president John Donahoe.
And today, onetime pirate pariah BitTorrent joined the flood of companies offering Hollywood movies and TV shows for sale over the Internet.
