I bet simply adding that clause to the upload form would get rid of most of the pirates lol. Throw in something about being "reported to authorities".

I've spent a *lot* of personal time over the last year doing this and aim to do it not-for-profit. Also, if I open up how it is done, then pirates will figure out a way around it, so sorry; no - the concept will remain closed.
However, I'll get a proof-of-concept set up with say the entire library of a major tube (eg ~150k videos) so you can test away till your heart's content to see if you can get around it by clipping, compressing etc. If a match is found, it will show you the URL where the video is at. Will that do?
