Neither hashes nor file sizes are how copyright works—I don't make a work free by adding a space to it. So it would be a bit weird if Google implemented it that way. Rolling hashes—maybe.
It's a pity that we don't get to see the supposed ‘copyright holder’ like on YouTube—it would add nicely to the bureaucratic surrealism.
I wonder if the Docs team saw how great and flawlessly YouTube's ‘Content ID’ works, and implemented about the same. And now they match files against some clerk's entire disk that was uploaded into the system.
