Vobile's fingerprinting technology does not add data to a video, it scans frames and builds special hashes on each one, identifying certain points which remain even if the file is re-encoded, resized, cut or anything.

When we scan a video that gets uploaded to one of our tubes, that matches a fingerprinted piece of content, Vobile actually know which copyrighted work it is from and what timecodes it starts and finishes at. So they can find a 2 minute clip out of a 2 hour movie and identify it correctly belonging to that specific movie.
so how does that work if i were to for example strip the audio out, and replace the audio with the parody song of "legal, tender and fine" by snow, called "legal old and saggy" to comment on the ubsurdity of 2257 for people way over the age of 19.

those actions would be covered under the parody/commentary fair use and would still be "caught" as infringement by such a system.
