Do Hollywood and the music industry really still have any problem with Youtube et al?
There are some snippets of popular shows that go beyond "fair use". But those are usually of low quality because they are trying to evade the filters.
Everything of actual value seems to be rather well protected.
And hasn't the music industry made their peace with the internet these days? Seriously: it seemed in the early 2000s, there was far more action by the MPAA and RIAA to shut down the internet as it is (was). Reading slashdot in that era, those two organisations showed up in headlines as often as Facebook has on HN in the last month, or Uber in 2017.
File sharing these days is but a fraction of its peak, what with Spotify and Netflix. Maybe they are still angling for better terms and other marginal concessions, but they are no longer the Dark Army fighting for life.
