I don't know if you missed this or just don't consider it important, but 
essentially every video stream coming from a streaming video provider that is 
streaming copyrighted entertainment is encrypted.   The volume of encrypted 
data traversing the internet in streams of this type vastly outweighs the 
entirety of all traffic of the type that the IETF is currently talking about 
encrypting for privacy reasons.
