Very curious how this all results.
Not trying to justify it, but I always felt that the Government ignored copyright violations because they felt the job losses were offset by the job creation in the tech industry, which they viewed strategically more important to the future.

One tube, creates a demand for large hosting (jobs), creates demand for extra internet capacity (jobs), creates demand for significant amounts of hardware (jobs), etc. I am not saying the offset is enough, but in some respects it might be.
