The problem is that "safe harbor", as I understand it, is an all-or-nothing proposition. If they ditch the DMCA safe harbor clause for this one particular video, they're opening themselves up to liability for any and every video on YouTube. That is something that Google definitely does not want to consider.

That's not the case.
