Justin Bieber defends fan channel “bieberzone” from YouTube suspension–is copyright uncertainty to blame?

Justin Bieber has entered the copyright fray. Apparently, YouTube suspended the account of a Bieber fan called “bieberzone,” who probably was reposting Justin Bieber videos. YouTube may have even removed some of Bieber’s own music videos (performing other people’s songs). All of this no doubt has something to do with copyright concerns–as the underlying music is copyrighted. But it’s not clear whether YouTube did this on its own, or whether some copyright holder complained. Bieber is working under Usher’s music label, so we’re guessing those in the music industry give Justin their blessing to create his YouTube videos.

On his twitter, Justin writes:
