In short. TV companies like You-tube because vids that show clips of shows are like free adverts for the show. Music videos are also advertisments that MTV and VH1 get to play for free.
There aren't a lot of entire shows, and there are no or almost no entire movies.
Napster died cause the music industry is brain-dead. Youtube will survive because the movie and TV industries are NOT brain dead. They know a good thing when they see it, regardless of it's legality.
Frankly, it isn't illegal unless the owners protest, at which point, they remove the media. It is perfectly legal to allow your creative work to be used for free.
