Today I uploaded a 1-minute video to YouTube. It was something I'd made for my sister, and it included a recording of "Not for all the Rice in China" sung by Wesla Whitfield.
YouTube was able to detect that it was a licensed song or recording, and blocked viewing of the video in the U.S. They have a database of "audio fingerprints" which they run through to detect copyright infringement.
Technically, they were right, and I'm not complaining. It just blows my mind that they are able to accomplish this. Kind of an automated Big Brother.
