galaki here is how it works as a rational person has gathered.
Youtube hosts videos of original conent and allowed content only.
Youtube partnered with sony and universal in 09' to allow hosting of copyrighted content lik one direction and beyonce through a service called vevo, which is basically a subdomain of youtube that allows companies to set their ad revenue rates.
Meanwhile, companies still have videos on regular youtube, in specific channels.
Sony has moved all its videos and hits along with them to the subdomain vevo.
Vevo is youtubes number one revenue source (or close to it), as youtube makes a percentage of the rate profits. Sony and universal think youtube's cut is too big. The entirety of the vevo subdomain is controlled by sony, universal, and abudhabi media.
