Is naming a video on YouTube containing the words "106 & Park" copyright infringement?

Asked by Magnus (2884points) June 27th, 2008

I made a funny parody of Lil’ Wayne a few days ago, posted it on youtube. Audio only. Woke up today to find that my YouTube account has been permanently banned. Well I had two strikes before, but this one I don’t get. I used my own name, called it “Magnus on 106 & Park 6/16.08”. I didn’t mention Lil’ Wayne in the description or anything. Now how is this copyright infringement?! I made an audio track SOLEY with me and some friends. The video contain the sound track and a black text saying the title all the way through.

Now I might understand that “106 & Park” is a registered trademark, but isn’t it a bit much to call it copyright infringement using it in a title?
