Google, racing to head off a media industry backlash over its video Web site YouTube, will soon offer antipiracy technologies to help all copyright holders thwart unauthorized video sharing, its chief executive said Wednesday.
"We are definitely committed to (offering copyright protection technologies)," Google Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt said in an interview. "It is one of the company's highest priorities."
"We just reviewed that (issue) about an hour ago," Schmidt said when asked what Google was doing to make antipiracy technologies widely available to video owners. "It is going to roll out very soon...It is not far away." Cnet has more.
