Personal opinion regarding Viacom case

I enjoy surfing a lot of contents posted in YouTube and through those contents, I can lessen my stress arising from daily life. Therefore, for myself, I hope that YouTube will overcome this crisis by Viacom and its users including me share a lot of useful service provided by You-tube. However, I think that the YouTube provide its users with such amusements and benefits without any illegal acts like copyright infringement because I believe that it, ultimately, protects both copyright owners and users. In relation of this, Viacom alleges that YouTube is directly liable for, or contributorily and/or vicariously liable for copyright infringement and in contrast to those allegations by Viacom, YouTube defends that it is internet service provider (“ISP”) as defined by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and as such ISP under DMCA, it took any reasonable measures under DMCA. At this stage, it is impossible to anticipate who will win this lawsuit but at least, if this case will be judged by the court, the court will guide a standard of measures which should be taken by ISP under DMCA clearly. As such, I really hope that the court hold that YouTube has no liable for any copyright infringement and even if YouTube lose this case, based on the standard confirmed by this case, other ISPs who keep such standard do their business without any fear regarding copyright infringement.
