Yep it sure sounds like this, as the details of their "swap clips" program are still vague and unclear. But even if used for hunting&DMCAing only, this tech is still a big step and a big deal. Yes we can go on about hunting infringing clips just fine without it (as we used to over the years), but with it things would get so much easier and faster. In theory, if you have enough processing power, you can hit any motherfucking illegal tube with the DMCA 5 seconds after they posted your stolen clip (not 5 hours or 5 days - 5 secs!), and also auto file copies of this DMCA to all of their partners (hosting company, domain name registrar etc) to make sure they get more and more nervous about having such "business partners".
Yes this tech is aimed mostly at tubes and won't work that well with other forms of piracy (such as torrents and boards), but since it can stop all infringments COLD at tubes it is still worth it. We can deal with boards and torrents using other methods.
I'd say, at the current price of $500/month/16 tubes this service is worth it only for the biggest programs, and maybe for DVD companies too because all major tubes love their stuff, and having at least 16 of them covered is enough of a deal for DVD sellers. Yes I see some potential to it even with their current insane prices and very limited reach.
At $500/month/up to 1000 protected videos/all tubes covered, it'll be an option for many of the middle sized programs.
At $100-150/month/up to 10000 protected videos/all tubes covered, that will become a mass product for the adult industry where every one and their dog will be subscribed to.
