The ‘old media’ owners of one of the web’s hottest new media properties, MySpace, say they’ve solved the problem of copyright content being reposted to a site once it has been taken down the first time. Will YouTube offer the same?

MySpace has launched the first content protection system that ensures copyright content can’t be re-loaded onto a website once it has been detected as infringing and removed. MySpace say they are the first to offer this feature to copyright owners and claim to be “the leader in copyright protection on the Internet.”

The new technology is called ‘Take Down Stay Down’ and MySpace describes it as a “ground-breaking tool to prevent users from reposting unauthorized copyrighted content”, as well as being “a comprehensive solution to identify and remove any unauthorized user-posted content in a manner that is more efficient and effective than any solution previously available to them”.

Advanced Micro Devices says its badly needed quad-core desktop processors are on the way, and they’ll arrive bearing a new name.

Later this year, AMD will unveil its Phenom processors in quad-core and dual-core iterations. Two quad-core chips will be available in the second half of the year, the Phenom FX and the Phenom X4, and a dual-core chip based on a similar design called the Phenom X2 will also appear by the end of the year.

The Phenom brand will become the moniker for AMD’s performance chips going forward, said Leslie Sobon, director of the company’s desktop division. The Athlon 64 X2 brand will remain for mainstream chips and Sempron will continue to bring up the rear, she said.
