A video entitled "Nice blonde walking on the beach" could be simply a nice blonde walking on a beach. OR it could be a Hollywood movie. Or it could be a porn scene. They have absolutely no idea what people are doing. Unless now you're trying to say that your privacy is being invaded as well when you use a torrent?
I don't care how many times you quote statistics...if the data isn't accurate the stats you are basing your argument on are completely skewed.

torrents are session based
i download a file form that session i have the EXACT SAME FILE as everyone else in the session (from the tracker stats broadcast to the client so it know of potential sources for the pieces)
So in the example i gave you, i can look at every file and see what it is. (or if you are not a moron and know how to automagically generate a unique hash code via bit by bit scanning uniquely tag each file)
And i can get a count of the number of times that particular file has been downloaded within that session.
To find out how many times a particular movie/tv episode/porn episode is download i add up all the counts from all the sessions where the file is downloaded.
So No you don't need to violate anyones privacy to get an accurate count. Only an idiot would believe that.
