For that reason I won't mention the site on here but it's a very well known site. I spoke with the own of the paysite and he said they are currently pursuing several lawsuits against thieves.

Xvid Autograph looks great and it sure is a great way to identify and ban the thief on your site.
But I doubt it would provide sufficient evidence
to convict a pirate. Charge maybe. Convict? Not likely.. which is probably the reason why it's not that widely used.
Just because the illegally uploaded videos carry a name of someone does not mean the same person uploaded the scenes to the file locker. Same goes for IP address -
IP address is not a person. Anyone can sit at my computer / laptop / tablet and upload my videos with my name in them.. so the evidence needed would be linking the UPLOADS to a physical person (e.g. having a witness or catching the uploader on a camera etc.).
BTW, the idea of injecting user names into the footage is not new, I heard about that idea many years ago. Still I like it cause I can easily ban people if I find them uploading the content somewhere else.
