What's different about Auditude is (they say) they've made an index of the last four years of TV. So unlike with YouTube's Video ID, copyright holders don't have to upload all their content to a site in order for it to police infringing videos. That's a major barrier for copyright holders -- why would they want to hand over their precious content to the site where people are ripping it off?
The system is not that revolutionary, though, unless Auditude can get more content owners and sites to sign on. It would be pretty cool if it worked internet-wide.
