We're looking into this for couple of years now. We're doing some steady progress, but far from a final result.
The problem is incredibly complex, because Fair Use doesn't have any quantifiable metrics that you can translate into a computer algorithm. The gist of Fair Use is that you have to prove the intent of the uploader trying to rip you off.

If you're interested in this problematic, reach out and I will be happy to share more.
