So will YouTube results start to slide down the rankings, or are Google's own properties immune?

I hope Google's algorithm is excellent, or it could force down the rank of legitimate pages. New services are often on the receiving end of a lot of takedown requests. A recent example of where this can go wrong is the case of LendInk, a legitimate ebook sharing site that was taken down by the actions of an angry mob of authors.
I'd prefer Google not do this if it means legitimate services are ranked lower, but they can do whatever they like with their service. No doubt this move will help Google with some of its other negotiations with content creators. |

Still, Google doing this itself is probably going to be less harmful than a general governmentally imposed system that applies to everyone. |

And I feel fairly sure that searches on media content will point you towards Google Play.

I don't side with pirates at all, but this seems to be the beginnings of internet censorship. How long before something like this expands to other types of sites/topics?

It SOUNDS like a good start, but I'm interested to see how many legit sites and such get bumped off from "valid" take down requests.
