OK, I admit I didn't read the whole thread, and I'm going back to read, but if it's a case of riding on the coatstrings of an already failed adventure, albeit in another jurisdiction, then best of luck.....

If the battle is purely in the US, then good luck in proving said US perpetrator downloaded a video from a US-based tube site.

I know that last sentence may get my head blown off here, but I remember the same case being thrown out in London because some skank ponied up the cash to prove he downloaded from a Swiss based provider, which is outside EU jurisdiction.... One of the last cases as I saw reported as a case of the straw that broke the camel's back.

My source for all this was theregister.co.uk - it's all in their archives, just their search engine sucks donkey balls.
