Fingerprinting is not watermarking, it doesn't put anything into the vid thus there's nothing to remove - you can only avoid being detected by this tech if you recompress or rewatermark it so severely that it'll become mostly unrecognizable by the human eye too, at which point it will be useless for all practical purposes.
Let me qoute my own post from the other DFP/Manwin/TB thread:

And since it's pixel-by-pixel comparing, it can find matches even if the original video was strongly modified, for example recompressed, cropped, rewatermarked etc.
This thing is cool, it's just very server intensive - that's why they're not offering the whole lot of tubes with their monitoring services, and limit the amount of videos that you can submit for a fixed price. This thing is just too heavy on CPU usage to let it loose scanning all infringing sites comparing all finds with the database of a million protected vids and charge $10/month for that.
Aside from CPU issues, the cost of a license is still out of this world for most DFP apps - one more reason why all DFP services charge insane prices.
