<<Google Inc. (GOOG) plans to announce Monday that its YouTube video-sharing Web site has begun making available a new piracy fighting tactic, a source said.

The source would not provide additional details. Those are to be released during a presentation Google's making to journalists later Monday.>>

A new piracy fighting tactic? What was the previous one?

"New" does not imply there was a previous one, Ionut., rather that this is the first. "Improved" would mean that it was made better. Which brings up that age old argument of, How can something be both new, and improve?

It's not the first time we hear these "coming soon" infos on YouTube's anti-piracy efforts (e.g. the supposed "claim your content" tool). Let's see what *really* happens...

Well, people played, now Youtube restricts... It is the same with Dailymotion that use a technology provided by French video archive company (INA) to block content from french TV... And I think it is getting worse with time...
