It took me 3 seconds to "hack" Audible Magic's fingerprint technology.
Just post the video upside down.
A fingerprint analysis will calculate that there are too many different
vectors for it to be the same material, but all the viewers have to do
is turn their monitors upside down ... and voilà (or download the clip
and reverse the process, or just play it with "mplayer -vf flip").
The question is, did Audible Magic think of that one already? Is it
"orientation-insensitive"?
Doing something similar with the audio would be more of a challenge.
Certainly for audio-only content it could just be reversed, but for
audio-video it would require demuxing first, which would be a pain (for
the viewer) but still doable.
And no I'm not advocating copyright infringement; just common sense,
fair use, and free speech.
