No news here. One makes a copyright-infringement claim and Apple handles it the only sensible way it can: look into it and act on the findings.

Side-note/Word to the wise: Avoid scrolling down and reading the comments on this site at all costs.


That'll be the day when computers can automatically recognize an unauthorized translation of a copyrighted work. Seriously, all this online fingerprinting stuff is worse than the potential for watermark-detecting DRM chips embedded in camcorders and cell phones. At least if the chip is in my hand, I can (find someone to) hack it, or buy an older model. It's ridiculous to have YouTube delete the audio from a video because a major label song happens to be playing.
