Unless you have some sort of video frame comparison engine working on BOTH ends (your end AND the tube site end, which I doubt because of how much cpu power this would take for each video). this will just not work. If the file is re-encoded (for instance, from the source grabbed from the members area into flv or mp4 as most tubes do) or molested in any way (even if the video is 1 byte shorter), the checksum will change.

Of course, correct me if i'm wrong here and you are not using checksums or frame comparison to do this...
they probably just didn't upload videos from those who paid the ransom.
