If anyone familiar with this topic is here, how much does this type of content id system cost? Do the studios pay for some of it? In any case, Elon is digging himself a big hole, filling it with money, and then jumping into it on fire and covered in gasoline.

The real question is how much does not having a content id system cost. How much does the RIAA / Stuios get if you host their copyrighted content and distribute it publicly?

Minnesota woman to pay $220,000 (On appeal from $1.5m - 2012 USD's) fine for 24 illegally downloaded songs

"The RIAA accused her of downloading and distributing more than 1,700 music files on file-sharing site KaZaA, but took legal action on 24 works for efficiency. They initially offered a $4,500 settlement which Thomas-Rasset did not accept."

$4,500. To $1.5M. Play stupid games...
