For IP, if you wish.

Surely if Lieberman was halfway serious or halfway clued in about
fighting "terrorists" these videos would be allowed to remain up, and
the IP's of the source and downloaders carefully noted for follow-up
later.  These sorts of things must be a *gift* from an espionage
perspective, even if just for traffic analysis.

I'd not be surprised if Google's reticence stems from having had a quiet
word from the NSA behind the scenes.
