I think Austin's complaints, while still somewhat valid about not clear enough messaging, are maybe a bit extreme. The information in this blog post makes it pretty clear that it isn't just those 6 videos, and that they are looking for good examples of fair use in the future and are actively resisting DMCA notices for these specific items already.

From the blog post:

While we can’t offer legal protection to every video creator—or even every video that has a strong fair use defense—we’ll continue to resist legally unsupported DMCA takedowns as part of our normal processes. We believe even the small number of videos we are able to protect will make a positive impact on the entire YouTube ecosystem, ensuring YouTube remains a place where creativity and expression can be rewarded.
