It's become a bleedin' industry now, it has nothing to do anymore with intellectual property or the protection of the artist. The next step would be a peer to peer like youtube, where the same content would appear on a decentralized network so the copyright gestapo would have no central entity to attack. I sincerely wonder how much online sharing of various media has REALLY *cost* the artists themselves. The directors, the actors, the musicians. Aren't they still getting insane amounts of revenue off their work? Do they really need to be protected so ferociously? YouTube has been running like this for 1.5 years - can anyone claim that "YouTube has ruined their financial life" ? In the eloquent words of a random new yorker: get the fuck outta here.

They do not want to risk to take them to court, as it will most probably ruin them financialy. Their only benefit is media attention, and therewith more hits, leading to advertisers... calculative tactics... everyone profits from youTube, one way or the other! as I understood (Tom, correct me if I’m wrong) they are sueing YouTube to gain publicity.
