"What exactly do you predict this publicity will do to Glee?"
Nothing. However what it will do is add another link in the rights / copyright / fair use discussion. So far that discussion has been dominated by the music labels putting it all on "bad actors" (snarky comment we call them "customers") who abuse copyrights willy-nilly and destroy their value. Pandora has been pushing the mandatory licensing conversation along with respect to "Internet Streaming which is not broadcasting." by pointing out some pretty arbitrary language there.
To date, the labels and media outlets, have had a lot of unwarranted credibility given them in the halls of Congress and this helps chip away at that credibility in a tangible way. But for it to actually chip away at it, it has to surface high enough into the general discourse of things that congressional representatives will have heard about it.
