Well if it actually went to a court case, I'm sure either RIAA's lawyers or the defence lawyers would subpoena Google to disclose the split of downloaded videos between protected and not protected videos and then we'd actually know. It is likely RIAA would have already done some sense check of usage already using metered PC panels before even stirring up this particular hornets nest.

Not sure about that. The RIAA approach over the last few years doesn't seem very well researched or well thought out. They seem to more go after "targets of opportunity" + add in coercion wherever possible.

That's just my impression anyway.
