I mean they say that they are anti-copying but essentially, their program exists because it scans the work of thousands of OTHER people’s essays; nothing in their database is their own. Using other people’s data to populate your entire service could just as easily be considered a form of plagiarism in itself.

Movie & TV studios have sophisticated sniffers that search for particular video signatures, the better to send out cease-and-desist letters to YouTube. It’s my understanding that such tools are fairly expensive to license and run – is there anything for the less well-heeled audio/video copyright holder?
