Your ideas on first page saying only stream and protect the stream, however, are not good. The income lost because of unhappy members is far bigger than "fixing" piracy will ever return.

Yes, the thread evolved to allow for tagging videos with member details, so that if/when pirated content was found, the original member could be removed from the members area and if needed followed up with prosecution with "direct proof" of pirating user content.
However, there are quite a number of sites that I know of that only allow streams - don't discount an idea since it isn't what "the big sites" use...

What images are you hashing and comparing to? Places like PornBB will never have an image on a post which comes cleanly from the members area. 99% of the time it will be a video thumbnail compilation image.

Otto is correct - another thread evolution into detecting pirated photosets, which is equally as damaging to content owners as videos. Still rife. The app is looking pretty good atm and the algorithm used in phase 2 to do the same to detect videos (more difficult as you know, but still very do-able)
It's detection by comparison, not by fingerprinting. Maybe not as water tight, but certainly useful enough in an automated setting to flag certain content for verification by a human eye. Makes finding a needle in a haystack easier when you have a giant magnet to help you look
