As Varzi points out this technology exists, to one degree or another, and it's not cheap. Only the very largest tube sites would even bother to support it, because they'd be bigger targets for lawsuits (like YouTube became when Google bought them). The DMCA basically gives these guys a free ride.

Technically it's easier to parse and sample the audio track than video. Lots less data to keep track of, and people don't "crop out" the audio like they do a logo on a video. There are some patents for this already. The big movie studios can probably afford to license them. I know I can't.

The big player in this area is Digimarc.

As for companies dedicated to removing content from tubes and other sites, yes there are several of these. Do a Google search and you should turn up a few - removeyourcontent dot com is a start. At least one I'm familiar with is operated by a lawyer.
