This is a flagrant violation of consumer rights to a severe degree.

Watching youtube vids makes you a criminal!

Sony is going to get their ass handed to them on appeal so bad it'll make their heads spin

lol you are blowing this out of proportion here. They got these IP addresses to see who watches these videos and from where. The latter would be to prove that the majority is from California where Sony wants the case to be held. The former is then to see if that IP address has a PS3 and from there they can tell if you have the homebrew or have pirated.

 

In no way, shape, or form has Sony stated you are a criminal for watching youtube.

And why not be able to hit people with a large net? You don't think Sony's legal division will take this opportunity to encourage an addendum to the EULA that states that if you view this content, they know who you are and can pursue legal action?

Yes it is ideal to get all of them at once. And that could be the bigger picture that Sony has in mind while obtaining these IP addresses. But again they are not going to rush and ban everyone, this is potential millions of people. As I stated in my previous post they will watch the console that may or may not be tied with the IP address that watched the videos of hacking or homebrewing or whatever it was.
