Abstract
A system and method for identifying unauthorized uploaded content that has been uploaded before a stream has been ingested is disclosed herein. The stream is compared against the indexed uploaded content repeatedly as the stream is received. The matching process is done once per a time period until a match meeting a minimum match duration threshold is identified. The match is then determined to be unauthorized, and a claim is issued against the unauthorized uploaded content. The time period can be based on a utility based analysis that factors the computational costs of repeated matching versus the diminishing value of the stream as time progresses.
