YouTube ‘will get sued and it will lose’

Poor YouTube, they just want to be loved (and fingers crossed, get picked up while the valuations are still nice and high). Put aside for a moment that Mark Cuban has called any potential suitors morons, Forrestor Research think that if YT gets sued and is forced to remove all copyrighted material that "what's left will leave YouTube with videos that are "a lot less interesting." Lost Remote TV disagrees stating that all the cool videos are the non-copyright ones:

I disagree with the conclusion that such a suit would cripple YT. The videos that really take off from YT are the homemade ones: think lonelygirl15, diet coke & mentos, Japanese Backstreet Boys, Evolution of Dance. Don’t take my word for it - just visit the ‘Most Viewed Ever’ page. The other power of YT is in the Long Tail - the millions of vids that get a few plays each. The copyrighted video argument is a red herring. The first reaction to any new media is to fear it.
