Le compte YouTube de Lady Gaga fermé pour (faux) piratage. Le compte YouTube officiel de Lady Gaga a été fermé à la demande de Air Production, la société qui produit Taratata.
La chanteuse avait pourtant participé à l’émission de Nagui sur France 4 pour y chanter Born This Way et Hair. Cependant, « quelques jours après ses prestations, Lady Gaga avait souhaité partager ce moment avec ses fans en diffusant les vidéos sur son compte YouTube, qui a largement dépassé la barre du milliard de vues depuis octobre dernier » explique PureMedias.com Problème : YouTube possède un système de détection automatisée des vidéos non autorisées par les ayants droit (Content ID). Du coup, cette mise en ligne a généré un signal d’alerte. Du côté de Air Production, trois demandes de notification ont été adressées sur le compte LadyGagaOfficial. Air Production a expliqué à Puremedias.com que ces notifications avaient été envoyées par erreur et que des courriers rectificatifs ont depuis été adressés à Google, YouTube et au manager de Lady Gaga.

Now it's the copyright holders getting taken to court.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed suit today against Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), asking a federal court to protect the fair use and free speech rights of a mother who posted a short video of her toddler son on the Internet. In February, Stephanie Lenz uploaded to YouTube.com a 29-second video of her son dancing to Prince's song "Let's Go Crazy. " She said she made it public for her friends and family. But last month, YouTube told her UMPG threatened legal action if the video was not removed from the site immediately.
The video came down. "I was really surprised and angry when I learned my video was removed," Lenz said in a statement. EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry told internetnews.com Lenz has reason to be upset. "According to the content owners, what they're worried about is long verbatim copies of their music, their movies, their news. Universal Music did not respond to requests for comment.
Germans can’t see meteorite YouTube videos due to copyright dispute. Last week, when the world was watching crazy Russian meteorite videos on YouTube, Germans weren’t.
As a result of an ongoing dispute between Google (YouTube's parent company) and GEMA, the primary German performance rights organization, a number of Russian YouTube videos have been blocked from within Germany. The reason? These videos contain background music playing from a Russian car radio. This is just the latest example of a ridiculous situation that has developed in Germany. According to a recent study by OpenDataCity, more than 60 percent of the top 1,000 YouTube videos are unavailable in Germany because Google assumes the music rights might be owned by GEMA. Germany doesn’t have an equivalent of the American fair use provision, which this would almost certainly fall under in the United States. “YouTube has no insight into what rights GEMA represents,” the Google subsidiary wrote.
Last month, GEMA wrote in a statement that Google’s German-language messages are “extremely misleading.”
