Seems like sanity is busting out all over the TV world:

YouTube.com, a popular video-sharing Web site that was smacked around in recent weeks by CBS and NBC, is starting to make friends in the TV world.

The site has struck its first formal partnership to obtain copyrighted content with MTV2, a cable channel overseen by Viacom’s MTV Networks, a spokesman confirmed.

Assuming that MTV2 doesn’t go out of business tomorrow, we hope this will be taken as a good sign throughout the industry.
