I would assume they would. If Youtube saw that they were about to lose the case I would guess they would settle. It would be up to Viacom to determine if they wanted to accept. If they take the money, it might decrease the future lawsuits against Youtube, but if Viacom feels like they are about to win a big victory they might turn the settlement down and take it a jury.
I would assume Youtube would appeal any ruling that goes against them, but I would also guess if they lose while they are appealing they will be hit with a bunch more lawsuits.
