No, this post has nothing to do with the lawsuit between Google - Viacom but the fact that the results of the lawsuit have caused so-called "high profile" users to leave YouTube. Naturally, the content creators are the ones driving these sites in the end and if they leave, these sites lose credibility and power. More importantly though, the fact that people do leave still implies that a need to have some service to supply these missing elements exist.
In short, even a dominant company like Google with their internet properties can still have short comings, allowing for more competitors to enter into these territories by virtue of opportunity.
But that's the core point in all this. The constant openings of opportunity permit the internet to continue having an incredible amount of competition. Despite the fact that the US and most of the world are experiencing a downturn economy, the guarantee of opportunities and future goldmines will push tech (most notably) as the industry to stick with.
