Abstract
Systems and methods for determining if media files being submitted to a hosting site contain media to which another has rights and informing a submitter of the potential media rights conflict without first divulging such information to a potential third party rights holder. Upon submission, if the media contains material to which another has rights, the submitter will be informed which portion of the submitted media file is infringing and given the opportunity to submit a modified media file. This approach maintains the confidential nature of the submitted media while enforcing the rights of third parties. The system also automatically notifies the appropriate parties in the event that the submitter does not resolve a conflict with media files to which another has rights and includes the ability to automatically remove the offending submitted media content. A method for detecting a possible media rights conflict is also presented.
