I do hope that SQE does eventually (sooner rather than later) change their stance on this. I know that from games like WoW, the viral nature of the "Leeroy Jenkins" video helped Blizzard's numbers; And then all the machinima made from the game only helps it's popularity (and that of the parent company, because they see blizzard as being friendly to their gaming community).
Youtube responds to copyright claims from large corporations (like SE) practically within minutes, as of a few months ago. Google take over = corporate america winning the copyright battle. This however has nothing to do with that, as you can just as easily find music thats not copyrighted to use.
