Facebook finally addressed concerns over the flood of videos being uploaded to the social network without their creators’ permission.

Audible Magic powers Facebook’s current system for discovery of unauthorized videos, and the social network announced in a Facebook Media blog post that the two companies are crafting new video-matching technology that will soon enter beta-testing.

The social network said that its current Audible Magic system allows video creators and content owners to report unauthorized uploads of their videos, adding that those videos are removed promptly, and that repeat offenders “are held responsible for their actions.”

Facebook described its new initiative with Audible Magic in the blog post:

We’re working with Audible Magic to enhance the way that system works with Facebook, including improving the intake of content intended to be blocked from our platform.
