OK one use of this is to check for your copyrighted photos obv.

But will people pay for such a service?

There are just so many companies starting with seemingly no way to make money.

Content owners pay a lot of money to protect their content. They pay money to lawyers, lobbyists, and companies like Media Sentry to snoop in on P2P traffic.

It's not a stretch to say they will pay to find stolen images. I'd venture they'd pay pretty well too.

These guys already make money doing exactly that. This is a new service from a well-established small company.
