As a regular internet user, you may have seen a lot of YouTube Accounts being suspended and a lot of YouTube Videos being blocked or removed. Now, even Lady Gaga’s Official YouTube Account has suspended.

Her official YouTube Account ladygagaofficial has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s Copyright Policy.

You might ask why the account was deleted? According to Billboard and Time Out Tokyo, it is because of her recent appearance on a Japanese TV Show called “SMAP x SMAP” by Fuji TV.

It is reported that the account hosted the video of her appearance on the show. The video was uploaded without permission.

Media Interactive Inc. requested for the video to be taken down for copyright infringement. The video contained several cuts from her album Born This Way plus the cooking show appearance on “SMAP x SMAP.”

We could remember that she starred in a Google Chrome Ad. Google owns YouTube, will they restore her account?

Do you think the account deserves to be suspended? Are YouTube members abusing the use of the site? Are copyright owners being too strict and abusing their copyright claims in the Internet? What really is considered fair use?
