My first question is, who cares who has WATCHED these videos? It is not unlawful to watch copyrighted material shown in an unlawful way. It is only unlawful to be the shower, not the viewer. I don't get it...

Remember, the US Constitution gives you the right to privacy from the government, NOT any right to privacy from each other or corporate entities.

I don't believe so. Usually data collected like this is client data, not referrer data. TFP would be the referrer in this case. *shrug*

I don't know that Viacom cares about music, but the RIAA might like to have a word with you. In all honesty, though, you cannot use one artists work in your own work (regardless of profitability) without permission. Buying the music only offers you rights to listen to the music.

That falls back on your government. Without access to your ISP or your government ordering your ISP to release private data from their IP tables, all they'd have is a number. That does them no good.
