Of course, since the hops in the network and the exit node might squeeze the bandwidth, trying to watch such media content might work better at some times than others. But if you were using the Tor Browser Bundle with its default restricted settings, you'd likely not be able to view such media at all. Point being, people use Tor for all sorts of reasons, not just for absolute anonymity/privacy.
I heard that Tor doesn't offer "absolute anonymity/privacy" in some cases. It's apparently possible for state-level actors to analyze Tor entry/exit node traffic to track connections. I can't offer more, I just heard it in passing.

I know....a bit late in commenting :-( . I posted a couple of days ago a question in offtopic about who, is anyone, is using WICKR. WICKR is available for Linux but regrettably I believe that it is for use only with Ubuntu (as the d/load file is a *.deb file [69MB big]). According to what is on their website, WICKR is *totally* secure - even from the NSA.
