I think the best part is: "Under the new rules announced Wednesday, however, if the uploader challenges the [Content ID] match, the alleged rights holder must abandon I'D [copyright] claim or file an official takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.", as this will probably lead to content owners more carefully reviewing videos and also gives users a much better way to appeal a copyright claim.

It also thankfully gets rid of companies claiming they can't be punished for illegitimate takedowns because they weren't done through the DMCA. Until they find some other loophole to hide behind, of course.
