Copyright Strikes to Dedicated Channels

I've Got It
Hey there forums people, I've got a small question about YT copyright strikes. Currently I've got a general gaming/vlog channel which is doing well however, I'd like to create a second channel dedicated to a specific topic. My question is, will I get a strike on that channel if I upload stuff such as a trailer?

Let me use an example. Say you're a fanatic of James Bond and you see that the YouTube channel JamesBond (it's just an example) hasn't been used yet. So you jump at that opportunity and create a second channel JamesBond with the YouTube url ending in JamesBond. You make videos covering every Bond villian, detailing their origins, reviewing each book and movie, doing Let's Plays on James Bond games.....but what about the trailers?

Are you allowed to re-upload the game trailers and the movie trailers as is? Meaning can one just download the Spectre trailer and upload it to your channel? I ask this because I've seen many small and larger channel having trailers on them (taken right from the creators site) with views of up to 300 000 AND it is monetized.

How do they do it and would it be an issue? Thanks in advance!
 
More than likely, the trailers were picked up by ContentID, flagged as 3rd party, and are being monetized by MGM (or whoever the production studio is).

I thought as much but what if you just want to upload them to bring people to your channel? The reviews you can monetize as well as the gameplay (with permission) but what if you just post the trailers because you love James Bond and want to promote the movies/games and your channel?
 
The reason doesn't change anything.

If you post something that you don't have the rights to, there's a chance that you could get a strike. With trailers you're more likely to receive a 3rd party claim and lose monetization, but you never know if they'll change their mind.

Most game companies express on their websites they allow their games to be used on YouTube and even for Monetization

This thread is about game trailers, which is a whole other ball of wax. No companies that I know of have an open trailer upload policy. And some of them who send trailers and other B-reel footage to media specifically for the purpose of upload, still enter it in ContentID for some blazingly stupid reason.
