It's not like they're losing profits over it, is it? Youtube doesn't really make profit either, I assume it only does from hosting the adverts, which isn't quite the same thing.
Though what would Viacom do if it finds out users prefer watching 'copyrighted' ones, what rules will they use to determine that information (if someone made a music video with clips from somethnig they like, will that be penalised???), and what would they do afterwards? Lawsuit? Obviously something.
