Commercial detection systems exist already although I couldn't vouch for their efficacy. How they will integrate with streaming however is another question.
I for one am excited for this phase of the cat & mouse game, as solving this challenge means keeping the monkey off our backs for good while longer.
Ah, the irony.
It might even be a bit simpler than that, as YouTube's going to have to mark segments as adverts somehow so you can't just skip past them.
