I knew those apps existed. My main confusion is on scaling here, there is also an accuracy concern. This isn't some service that people only do when they want, it's suppose to be all websites that service the EU use for legal compliance. I guess I should have been more clear that even with compression I'm not sure that they can build a reliable system. Petabytes of data, likely more, transferring everyday to some server farm to be compared to a growing list of other works and it's likely needs to be a near instant turn around and not some queue. But I guess I was going on the assumption that this is a standalone EU datacenter that does the work.
But they could give websites some app/script that compares whatever compressed or converted file to the database. Then send a remove or keep signal back. Then the website should remove offending material, possibly the app/script does this automatically (because having a 3rd party software remove content from your site sounds great). In effect it's automated DMCAs, which as we've seen are already sloppy and full of issues. Websites have copies of the database (updated regularly). And this is just some pain that web admins deal with.
