Using bioinformatics data methods to detect video piracy

A new technique based on bioinformatics methods of collecting and matching data is being developed in an attempt to better detect online video piracy, according to an article in MIT's Technology Review.

In this article on wired.com, Jennifer Welsh has discussed some of the characteristics of this technique, which has been likened to 'sequencing the genomes of videos,' and how it compares to other techniques.
