I believe Google plans to appeal, which will at least postpone the transfer of information.

Not to give away too much, but anonymization is probably a lot closer than they're leading on. It's a shame that they'll have to do that instead of have the law protect their customers and users.

I myself have used soundtracks that I've legally purchased as background music for several original videos I've posted on YouTube. Will I be a victim of this?
