How are these channels posting copyrighted content??

How are these channels posting chinese copyrighted drama without any trouble?? When i try to post, it says copyright proctected content found but these channels are not only posting but also monetized. And it's just not these channels, this seems like a completely different niche and new channels are popping every day if you search the word Drama and filter by channel in youtube. A lot of them seem to be posting same videos under different title and thumbnail. Can someone here explain how it's done? Are they obtaining some license from somewhere?

but how are they even posting the content without the youtube's copyright system detecting it

Most likely they have licenses or deals with rights holders, or use MCNs that handle Content ID. Some just fly under the radar or rely on platform’s automated systems. Without permission, it’s a risk to copy like that.

Sounds about right. Without proper licensing, it’s a gamble some channels get lucky, but most eventually face strikes or demonetization if caught.

Most of them use edited or re-uploaded clips with small changes.

I've been researching this for a long time, but I still can't figure out how they do it. Many channels in my country are making money by publishing similar content. A while ago, someone told me they bought a program for $5,000 and that they process videos through that program before uploading them to YouTube, but it didn't sound very convincing to me. For example, the first and last channels you mentioned even have their "Join" button enabled, which means they're currently monetized. Since these are very long videos, even if we assume they make $10,000 per million views on average, that's a huge amount of money. I hope someday someone will share the method so we can start making money too.

I tried re-uploading and gets hit with copyright by youtube instantly, even with cropping it a lot

If you ever find it out, please let me know man

I appreciate what you guys know, and the values that were mentioned are correct!

You are right only in one aspect the risk and high think with me!
Imagine several of your and your fellow partners publishing several films, and making a ton of money, unlimited, because companies could only take down your video with manual strikes, which makes it more difficult!
Now imagine several channels in different languages replicating this, and generating good revenue?
Well, you must be thinking, even so it is still risky and your channels can be deleted!
Yes, that's absolutely correct. Your channels may go down, but after weeks or even months, you'll already have your earnings by then! That is, regardless of whether the channel goes down or not, you'll still have your earnings, and you can continue to replicate this countless times on new and old channels, whether monetized or not, If you work with music you can earn on any channel, that is, if one gets taken down, just create another and do it all over again! If you have good views you will certainly have a good performance both in terms of profit and subscribers!

Looks like they're either using licensed clips or editing content in ways that bypass detection.
You could try studying their upload patterns and metadata closely to learn their method.

You are correct in both scenarios bro!
But 99% of it is edits! So only someone who knows how to edit like me could avoid and circumvent YouTube's content ID system, as it has currently undergone several updates in 2025! Common and old methods, form all YouTube deletions!. Because YouTube fixed everything, currently this is the only thing that is surviving! Some people have even told me that this will never be fixed by YouTube!
