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.

So the take-down mafia will just continue to flood Google with take down demands, and force google to decide each case, then focus their lawyers on the few that google chooses to protect. If they win one case, google's resolve may crumble.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

And if they lose?
* The revenue of the whole worldwide movie industry [statista.com] for 2015: $88B - with about 10% YoY growth projected.
* The Alphabet's revenue for 2015 Q3 [google.com] (that 3 months only, isn't it?): $18B - with 21% YoY.
Considering operational expenses and Hollywood accounting, my bet is on Google.
