Abstract

A request to send, to a third-party platform that is separate from a content sharing platform, a notice pertaining to an unauthorized media item may be provided, the unauthorized media item being an unauthorized copy of an authorized media item of a user associated with a user device, the user being a rights holder of the unauthorized media item and the authorized media item may be provided to a content sharing platform by a user device. A user interface identifying a set of versions of the authorized media item may be received from the content sharing platform. A selection of one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item via the user interface to the content sharing platform may be provided, causing the content sharing platform to generate a notice identifying the unauthorized media item to the third party platform.

Claims (37)

1. A method comprising:

providing, to a content sharing platform by a processing device of a user device, a request to send, to a third-party platform that is separate from the content sharing platform, a notice pertaining to an unauthorized media item, the unauthorized media item being an unauthorized copy of an authorized media item of a user associated with the user device, the user being a rights holder of the unauthorized media item and the authorized media item;

receiving, from the content sharing platform, a user interface identifying a set of versions of the authorized media item; and

providing a selection of one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item via the user interface to the content sharing platform, wherein providing the selection of the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item causes the content sharing platform to generate a notice identifying the unauthorized media item to the third-party platform, the notice further identifying the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item that are to be presented by the third-party platform in place of the unauthorized media item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unauthorized media item is identified in a feed presented to a second user by the third-party platform.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notice comprises a link to the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item to be presented by the third-party platform in place of the unauthorized media item.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the link replaces a reference in social shares on the third-party platform, the reference linking the social shares to the unauthorized media item, one of the social shares being included in a feed presented to a second user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authorized media item is hosted by the content sharing platform and the third-party platform does not comprise at least one of a content monetization mechanism or a content identification system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the content sharing platform, a notification identifying the unauthorized media item and the third-party platform, wherein providing the request to send the notice is based on receiving, from the content sharing platform, the notification identifying the unauthorized media item and the third-party platform.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

providing, to the content sharing platform, a notification policy identifying a set of third-party platforms, wherein receiving, from the content sharing platform, the notification identifying the unauthorized media item and the third-party platform is based on the third-party platform being one of the set of third-party platforms of the notification policy.

8. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device of a user device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:

provide, to a content sharing platform, a request to send, to a third-party platform that is separate from the content sharing platform, a notice pertaining to an unauthorized media item, the unauthorized media item being an unauthorized copy of an authorized media item of a user associated with the user device, the user being a rights holder of the unauthorized media item and the authorized media item;

receive, from the content sharing platform, a user interface identifying a set of versions of the authorized media item; and

provide a selection of one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item via the user interface to the content sharing platform, wherein providing the selection of the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item causes the content sharing platform to generate a notice identifying the unauthorized media item to the third-party platform, the notice further identifying the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item that are to be presented by the third-party platform in place of the unauthorized media item.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the unauthorized media item is identified in a feed presented to a second user by the third-party platform.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the notice comprises a link to the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item to be presented by the third-party platform in place of the unauthorized media item.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the link replaces a reference in social shares on the third-party platform, the reference linking the social shares to the unauthorized media item, one of the social shares being included in a feed presented to a second user.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the authorized media item is hosted by the content sharing platform and the third-party platform does not comprise at least one of a content monetization mechanism or a content identification system.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further to:

receive, from the content sharing platform, a notification identifying the unauthorized media item and the third-party platform, wherein providing the request to send the notice is based on receiving, from the content sharing platform, the notification identifying the unauthorized media item and the third-party platform.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processing device is further to:

provide, to the content sharing platform, a notification policy identifying a set of third-party platforms, wherein receiving, from the content sharing platform, the notification identifying the unauthorized media item and the third-party platform is based on the third-party platform being one of the set of third-party platforms of the notification policy.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed, cause a processing device of a user device to:

provide, to a content sharing platform, a request to send, to a third-party platform that is separate from the content sharing platform, a notice pertaining to an unauthorized media item, the unauthorized media item being an unauthorized copy of an authorized media item of a user associated with the user device, the user being a rights holder of the unauthorized media item and the authorized media item;

receive, from the content sharing platform, a user interface identifying a set of versions of the authorized media item; and

provide a selection of one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item via the user interface to the content sharing platform, wherein providing the selection of the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item causes the content sharing platform to generate a notice identifying the unauthorized media item to the third-party platform, the notice further identifying the one or more of the set of versions of the authorized media item that are to be presented by the third-party platform in place of the unauthorized media item.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the unauthorized media item is identified in a feed presented to a second user by the third-party platform.
