RE: Sharing Copyrighted Video Material on DTube Could Put Steemit's Future At Risk and Devalue STEEM.. My Thoughts - Having Worked In This Arena For a Decade.
Wow. yes this is a very important topic. If the industry sees to much of their profit being lost to dtube they will certainly take action. Just look at Kim Dotcom and Megaupload.
I believe you tube etc use something called perceptual image hashing algorithms known as pHash. Which i expect takes up a lot of processing power and/or server space.
So content IDing uploads is probably not possible at this stage. Maybe even impossible due to the torrent like nature of the dtube platform.
So I guess the only way for now would be to limit uploads to 5 - 10 minutes per video. Maybe even 4 mins max. This would stop films and episodes of stuff being uploaded which would limit the amount of copyright material drastically. But this isn't a long term solution.
Apart from that I can't see anyway around it unless there is an army of people vetting every upload.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Voted and resteemed.

You are welcome! Thanks for your Support.
Originally, Youtube used the Gracenote system for Audio Fingerprinting, but I don't know what they use now and Gracenote don't mention video fingerprinting. It is possible to install such a system on Dtube, but the fingerprinting process would have to be somehow inserted in between the end points of the network. I don't know enough about the details to know how easy/difficult that would be.
