    If, for instance, I was pirating a video game, would packing it in an encrypted container along with a Gb or two of downloaded YouTube videos be sufficient to defeat semantic hashing? What about taking that encrypted volume and spanning it across multiple files?

      Encrypting it should be enough to defeat either hash.

      Without encryption I think it would depend on implementation. I’m not aware of the specific limitations of the tools they use, but it’s for photo/video and shouldn’t really meaningfully generalize to other formats.
