On Myspace Music, sometimes when you upload a song (even original songs that are NOT copyrighted, a message appears saying "File Blocked! Copyright Asserted." My question is does MySpace scan the filename to determine whether or not a song is copyrighted? How do they recognize (or attempt to recognize) copyrighted material vs. non-copyrighted material?
Also, once one of these songs becomes designated as "Copyrighted," they become impossible to delete. Is there any way to delete them once they're uplaoded and tagged as copyrighted?
How Does Myspace Music scan for copyrighted songs?
Years ago they would simply look for filenames. Now it's gotten a LOT more sophisticated. They have a database of copyrighted songs. What is in this database is an audio fingerprint of the song. When you upload a music file it analyzes the uploaded song and compares it to their fingerprint database. It's NOT 100% accurate but it does provide a much better filter than filename matching or worse not allowing any music or shutting down.
As for deleting the files you should be able to delete them as with all the rest if not then you may have to contact them or start a new profile.
