FB also seems to be a bit of the former. Here (https://www.facebook.com/GoodMorningAmerica/videos/10153372841517061/ https://www.facebook.com/GoodMorningAmerica/videos/101533728...) is an anecdotal clip that ABC/GMA stole from this guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU13ByIYkew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU13ByIYkew) with no credit, they flipped, and re-watermarked his video. They got 22mm views on something the author only has 0.5mm views. Terrible ABC, terrible.

There needs to be CRC/SHA for video. Once that is figured out identifying these sorts of things will be trivial. I would in fact pay someone to develop this as I think it is something humanity needs. Or I could pivot it into a startup and offer content creators a "safe harbor" to let them know whenever their stuff has been pirated.

  Isn't this what YouTube calls content ID? They alert you that your content is up somewhere, then you have the option of monetizing it, or having it taken down.

    Uh interesting but sadly it doesn't look like it is open for all: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1311402 https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1311402

    Not quite trivial: people can crop, skew, vignette, mirror, timestretch and scale video to try to defeat it. YouTube's Content ID seems to be vulnerable to this sort of thing still.

      I think that's why many of these systems focus on audio. It's harder to change in a way that beats fingerprinting but doesn't ruin the viewing experience.

      I think the majority of the cases are uploaders that basically post the same content.

    ContentID is limited to few companies. It requires training, is not multi platform, and doesn't stop freebooting.

  YouTube already has Content ID and it's by no means perfect.

It's possible ABC licensed it from him. There is a link in the description to license the vid.
