According to the terms of the deal YouTube struck with Sony/BMG, this is also supposed to apply to fan-made lip-syncs and the like as well. Hence, AudibleMagic's technology can conceivably just recognize the audio and ignore the video. But you're right -- just a snippet, or, say, audio from an ambient source such as a boombox might not be so easily recognized. Much less any more involved of a remix or mashup.

Dear YouTube Member:

Sony/BMG has claimed some or all visual content in your video Float On. This claim was made as part of the YouTube Content Identification program.

Your video is still live because Sony/BMG has authorized the use of this content on YouTube. As long as Sony/BMG has a claim on your video, they will receive public statistics about your video, such as number of views. Viewers may also see advertising on your video's page.

Sony/BMG claimed this content as a part of the YouTube Content Identification program. YouTube allows partners to review YouTube videos for content to which they own the rights. Partners may use our automated video / audio matching system to identify their content, or they may manually review videos.

Obviously it is easy for their system to identify duplicate content, the question is can they identify a video that is not an exact match.

Mr. E.
