Following requests by a Japanese entertainment group for Youtube to implement stricter copyright policies, the social video site has acquiesced to some of its demands and plans to meet with the group in Japan shortly, it said Tuesday.

As requested, a notice in Japanese will be posted on the site notifying users about the penalties for copyright infringement. In addition, YouTube will send a delegation of executives to Japan to talk with the Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC).

The letter was signed by YouTube Chief Executive Chad Hurley and Chief Technical Officer Steve Chen, the same people that the original letter was sent to earlier this month. A date for the meeting has not yet been set.

JASRAC has previously said that it would like to see YouTube implement a screening system to catch copyrighted content before it appears on the site. It has already had some run-ins with YouTube over the posting of copyrighted videos, although the site had responded quickly.

About 30,000 videos were deleted in October by YouTube at the request of the group. However, since then videos with content that the JASRAC's members own the copyrights to have reappeared.

Users upload about 65,000 clips to the site each day. To sift through the massive amount and content and sniff out copyrighted content, the site has implemented several technology-based solutions, rather than attempting to do it through human intervention.

For example, an audio-signature program analyzes clips to see if they are copies of copyright material. That system was implemented in an attempt to appease the music companies, of which it has reached deals with several of the major labels.
