Yeah, but if they share your video. The leaked video has their info on it, forever. So in 6 months when you find it on TUBE123, you run it through your software and see that Joe Blow downloaded it from IP 123.123.123.123 on 10/1/2009 at 6:32pm - maybe you can do something. But that would be up to the lawyers and the company stolen from.

If they're keeping it for themselves, then yeah, this won't help much.

Edit: I missed the proxy part.

Have you ever tried to download high quality video via an anonymous proxy? In most cases it would be like pulling teeth. Still a valid argument though.
