From Yahoo!News:

The number of Americans watching video on their computers has doubled over the past year and growing numbers of younger viewers are enjoying movies and TV shows online, according to a study released Friday by ABI Research.
It is not only American, in Indonesia they have the same trend. I can see it in my company, most of the staff use their free time for watching online video. The most favourite site is Youtube, then the other visit Crunchyroll for manga/drama freaks. In my opinion the other company may be similar, especially who used broadband connection for their internet connection.

Naruto Crunchyroll
Naruto Serial on Crunchyroll

Actually in my company there is strick rules, IT staff blocking for accessing this kind of stuff including video streaming, blogs or forums, porn and etc. But always there is a way to break the wall out there :)
