When a copy infringement falls in the Web forest, does it make a sound? Now it does, thanks to YouTomb, which tracks YouTube take-downs, kinda like an info control zeitgeist reader. There’s even a stats page to monitor the biggest control freaks.
YouTomb is a research project of MIT Free Culture. The purpose of the project is to investigate what kind of videos are subject to takedown notices due to allegations of copyright infringement with particular emphasis on those for which the takedown may be mistaken. Although our initial focus is on videos hosted by YouTube, we are interested in other video collections as well.
