The project I built and mentioned in the article, Metastream [1], is used to sync videos across browsers. It now lives as a browser extension and I'm able to track which web domains are most commonly used by the app.

Based on the usage statistics for the past month (28,711 samples), these are some commonly used media websites:

1. www.youtube.com (69%)

2. www.netflix.com (5%)

3. www.crunchyroll.com (2.5%)

4. www.hulu.com (0.8%)

5. www.funimation.com (0.3%)

6. www.disneyplus.com (0.3%)

7. other (22.1%)

The app is heavily skewed towards anime which already has a problem with piracy. That said, we can at least see that approx. 9% of traffic in my app is for DRM-enabled media.

Personally, I don't think the usage statistics of DRM media matters much. It shouldn't be a requirement to consume any content on the web to begin with.
