Google Drive is the first stop for media piracy all across the internet.
I don’t think I’m going too far to assume they have some pretty significant automatic enforcement mechanisms, especially when it comes to trademarked/copyrighted media.
In fact, from the first result I can find:
> Google Drive matches the hash of copyrighted video content with files that are stored to identify pirated content [1]
File hashes seem like the tip of the iceberg, IMO. I mean, the original video was posted on YouTube, so Google presumably has access to some DEEP info on that media.
