I think you mean (or I choose to correct) that it's all copyright but there is only a copyright challenge/takedown in certain cases. Copyright doesn't go away like trademarks, until its time is up. It's just that many creators tolerate, for a variety of reasons, widespread copyright theft on the internet. AND with Youtube and some other cases there is the further complication that the creator can choose to get the money from the adverts. Thus, one person's copyright theft becomes a creator's source of income. The creator may, or may not, be happy at this.

Trademarks live forever. Copyright expires. From the US government trademark site:
Unlike patents and copyrights, trademarks do not expire after a set term of years. Trademark rights come from actual “use” (see below). Therefore, a trademark can last forever - so long as you continue to use the mark in commerce to indicate the source of goods and services.
