I'm curious how "YouTube" and "HTTP" traffic are segregated. Is "YouTube" traffic everything related to the youtube.com domain, or just traffic from their video CDNs.

I'm sure some of the large media companies will look at these numbers and say "Our scare tactics are working!"

One can only hope that some Big Media cos will look at this and say: "Wait a minute... So, if we make our content easily accessible, people won't pirate it much. Maybe we can compete with free, after all!"
