They still have copyright, as such it can still be pulled regardless if they were to find out. If someone has a copyrighted image and someone posts it for 'free' it can still be pulled because of copyright laws. Square Enix is quite a large company and unlike someone like me, who is a mere photographer-peon, has a lot more clout. If it doesn't follow their TOS it'll be pulled.

That's how video clips from TV shows can stay on youtube if they just flip the video. And also why AMV's are allowed to stay up there.

YouTube generally just takes things down if asked by a copyright holder, even if they shouldn't. Because the people who make the videos generally just accept it without question. But if you challenge the decision, you force YouTube to take an actual look at it, and not just defer to the judgement of the copyright holder, and then they tend to put it back up again.
