From Google's blog:
We are offering legal support to a handful of videos that we believe represent clear fair uses which have been subject to DMCA takedowns. With approval of the video creators, we'll keep the videos live on YouTube in the U.S., feature them in the YouTube Copyright Center as strong examples of fair use, and cover the cost of any copyright lawsuits brought against them.
This might help set precedents as to what is clearly fair use. It might make others think twice before filing bogus DMCA takedowns. It might help those who post videos which contain clips that are clearly fair use to feel less intimidated. Hopefully it will help everyone better understand what fair use is, and is not.

Translation: if you have over 100,000 subs and make YouTube some ad money, maybe an employee will spend 5 minutes to review a fair use defense against a bogus DMCA.
