We're already doing this against the deleted images... A bot downloads the image, computes that sha-1, checks the filearchive table based on the SHA1, and if there is a match it complains in IRC and the new image is tagged.
What would be really useful is an sha archive of the internet ;P Imagine that we can find the source of an image by just looking it up in the archive.
I guess no such thing exists yet. But it may be worth setting up such database, although it will become enormous and take ages to populate. But with a seti-at-home-like setup it might as well be feasable. Ok just daydreaming :)
