Do you track what people search? What do you do with that data? Who do you share it with? What's the business model, if any?

Thanks for asking aaaawweeeee. Answers below:
Do you track what people search? - No, we just get the video and search the web based on the keywords.
What do you do with that data? - We don't keep the videos. We use our own fingerprints.
Who do you share it with? - With the uploader of the video
What's the business model - Trying to figure it out... Have any suggestion? :)

I can see content holders willing to pay for an automated service if it's better than what's already available. Particularly if it issued take down requests as well.

So you're not indexing every video, you can only find videos that share some keywords with the original. If I had a video with no keywords it wouldn't show up even if it was an exact copy?
How many videos will you analyze per search? If it's something with popular keywords and shows a million videos, will you download all of those and compare?

ikeboy: At this stage we are not indexing to control server costs. However, our goal is to have all videos indexed to reduce the searching time. We are searching the web based on keywords to reduce the searching space.

Who says they're looking to monetize?

Suggested by the fact that it's not Free Software, or even open source.

Suggested, yes, but anecdotally I release a lot of web services in the wild that is not open source and I don't have any plans on making any money off them. It's not binary "OS or monetization".
