Now that's yet another brilliant, amazing idea in this thread!
Crawler that spiders all known shitholes like tubes torrents etc and looks for watermarks, then just sends you the report, probably with DMCAs already prepaired and ready to be sent for each URL with one click after some manual checking... That's would be AWESOME.
I spend lots of time in the trenches of anty-piracy war, but it is an uphill battle - tool like that is what I DREAM of having every single day of my life.
Actually, tical's thing is such a good an idea
exactly because it allows such crawling - going after member legally with that kinda proof... dunno (though you may take other actions like blocking offending IPs etc which is going to help anyway) - one of the main problems is simply finding your content, it takes lots of time and effort but no matter how hard you try still lots of it flying around. If something will simply crawl all the known content thiving shitholes daily and send you a report of what it finds... That would help ALOT.
Ideally, I'd be a subscription based service with the centralized database, so clients wouldn't have to run the crawler themselves, just to pay a monthly fee to some one who would - they'd also keep track of the infringing sites, add new ones as they pop up, work on bypassing any anti-spider defence scumbags may develop in the future etc ect.
Each subscriber of this service would add the name of the program to the watermark (and whatever other info they want, encypted or not, doesn't matter at this point) so the crawler would know what account to alert when it finds matches.
I'll be the first and the most loyal subscriber of this service for sure...
