There is plenty of pirated content of youtube that are both monetized to someone other than the owner and also not uploaded by the owner. Many of these are specially constructed to avoid youtubes content-id system, so google keeps making money off it until the owner discovers it manually, and then google sometimes continues to make money off it because the owner then just claims all further monetization.
That is just talking about commercial content also. Vir
Just look at music, how many "with lyrics" videos are there that show some song not uploaded by the artist or label, but with lyrics added as subtitles. Millions of views and "original work" excuses later, they're still there making the uploader ad revenue that should relly be going to the actual content creator or owner.
