'Royals' Parody removed from YouTube

New Zealand singing star Lorde and her agents have had YouTube take down BartBaker's parody of her hit 'Royals'.
Baker reported on Twitter:

The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1994 that commercial parody can quality as fair use under copyright law.
It is disappointing and ironic that Lorde whose song is an anthem against the excesses of the music industry is using her money and profile to try and intimidate a YouTuber with legal threats to remove a creative work.
We haven't see the video, but an artist should be big enough not to be offended by YouTube satire.
