Could YouTube avoid Google's crackdown on pirates?

On Friday, Google announced that starting next week, it would lower the search results generated by websites if they have a large amount of valid copyright removal notices. It's an effort that was created in part to stop the idea that Google encourages copyright violations in order to generate high search results, and make some money via ads in the process.

Now some are questioning how Google's new search paradigm will affect one of the company's own divisions, YouTube. SearchEngineLand.com points out that there are a ton of videos on the site that violate copyrights and frequently turn up in Google's search results.
