This is strictly between youtube and copyright holder. Basically it sounds like youtube just does not want to be bothered so they just give in to any request. Satire is most definitely covered. I wonder if youtube would remove all Weird Al Yankovic songs as well. The irony is that there is a MASSIVE amount of genuinely illegal stuff on youtube but unless the copyright holder notices and files, it stays up. Also since Youtube is engaged in major court challenges with big copyright holders about how it polices the site, so they are probably extra careful.
I don't know if I am happy or sad that this means one mocking the Cubs was taken down.
