Huh? We're talking about statistical significance here, not about whether they offer only IP not owned by poster. (and/or downloader, depending on your location)
Given that you can only make a value judgment about files whose download links have been explicitly shared, I'd be curious how you think one could possibly gauge the statistical significance (i.e.: weight) of anything knowable about RS by outsiders.

In other words, the fact that you are able to identify 100,000 RS download links with pirated materials doesn't mean that legitimate use doesn't utterly dwarf illegitimate use. And while checking all links is certainly not feasible, there's no other method either that is bound to get you accurate data.
