YouTube and how they are still in business

I read an interesting article about Youtube today. If you've ever been there than you know how they have tons of copyrighted content up on their site. However as described in this article YouTube is actually protected from prosecution due to the DMCA of 1998. Amazing. All this time I thought the DMCA was useless but now it seems to be doing some good. Under the DMCA online service providers are protected from what it's users do while on their network. YouTube is considered jsut that so when you upload the latest episode of Chappelle's Show Comedy Central can't touch YouTube because they are not responsible for what their users do.
