I wouldnt be so sure about Safe Harbour applying.

Youtube wouldnt be economically viable if it wernt for illegal content being posted on its site. If Viacom can prove this then it should be able to negate safe harbour. A dollar figure was essentially put on the worth of the illegal content when google purchased it.

I think the problem is that Viacom shouldnt have to ask, Google should remove it because of infringment automatically. Why should Viacom spend resources going through Youtube searching for illegal content.
