How would you compare an uploaded video to a database of copyrighted videos? If the illegal copy has a watermark or is edited/shortened/compressed then how do you know it's the same video as the original that is copyrighted? The filesize, source, and frames are all different.
What's stopping someone who wants to start an illegal tube from just removing this check? Or buying another tube script that doesn't have it?
How much would it slow down the upload process if you are running this check across millions of videos? This one is probably easy to get around.
Sounds like a great idea though for the people who want to run a legit tube without all the risk and hassle of illegal uploading.
