The difficulty is that every uploaded video needs to be processed for the web and stored on our servers. Without the constraints of the movie portal, we could see explosive growth in the amount and length of video uploaded, meaning more processing and more storage, as well as more time chasing down stolen videos or videos with unlicensed commercial music.
In the years ahead, video compression will improve, processing and storage will become cheaper / more plentiful and we'll be able to at least integrate our existing API for music content ID. All this means that it should get more doable over time, if the requirements for video don't get too out of control (people will probably want to upload 3D immersive video at some point, for example).
