is it not a fair assumption that most ppl dont expect to confront every youtube session with an investigation into the copyright status of videos on youtube? I would say its a very high probably most ppl dont even expect pirated materials on Youtube, thus I do not understand why the judge would allow login details and IP's to be harvested by the complainant. That story about using that to determine the percentage of ppl 'drawn' to watching pirated material is hogwash, as there is no way you can determine that without interviewing each and everyone in person, possibly connected to a lie-detector.
I wouldnt be surprised if the complainant, knowing its case to nail Google will be dragged out, will start charging youtube users with piracy claims, and thus open up another avenue for income. what bollocks.

Seems to me that federal judge isn't informed about federal law, nor is he aware that youtube has millions upon millions of foreign users, many of whom are from EU member states and the US agreed to protect their privacy, and rules somewhat.

Also: sumner redstone is an ass :/
