Rebecca Black's "Friday" video removed from YouTube over copyright complaint - Polidicks

[release]It’s Thursday, Thursday, and Rebecca Black’s memetastic “Friday” video is no longer available on YouTube, due to a copyright claim filed by Rebecca Black apparently. It’s not clear what exactly happened to the video, which at its pre-takedown height had amassed 167,370,534 views off of the ARK Music Factory account. Earlier this week it seemed like the video had been set up as a $2.99 YouTube Rental by ARK, and then not so much. Is this latest drama due to an attempt by ARK to capitalize on the young star’s Internet fame? I have no idea. When asked if Rebecca Black herself had asked for the takedown, a YouTube spokesperson gave us the following statement,”YouTube takes copyright infringement very seriously. When we receive a complaint alleging that a video infringes another person or company’s copyrights, we remove that video. Users who believe that a video was removed in error can appeal the copyright takedown.” It’s been down for less than an hour and part of me actually misses the godforsaken thing. Guess you don’t know what you got until it’s gone.[/release] [url=http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/16/rebecca-black-friday-video-no-longer-available-on-youtube/]Source: TechCrunch[/url] Fridays sure won't be the same again. :sigh:

thank fuck

They removed the video that got her popular. :downs: If only she could have done it before it hit 100 views.

The fuck?? Not that it's a bad thing, Im just surprised

I think its a good thing. Plus, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will just re-upload it on YouTube anyway.

Thank god, she doesn't deserve fame.

Don't worry, we still have this [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxleH60hDJY[/url]

She's fucking annoying, and the fact that she thinks she owns the rights to that song is even more annoying.

[QUOTE=J!NX;30505340]Thank god, she doesn't deserve fame.[/QUOTE] She didn't ask for it, fucking chuckleheads on the internet gave it to her

The damage is already done...

[QUOTE=KEITH1437;30505587]I felt like I just watched an Aphex Twin video or something.[/QUOTE] I thought I was the only one. It felt like 'Come to Daddy'.

So, she filed a copyright claim... [i]against herself!?[/i] Man, I mean, I knew that copyright claims were getting thrown around like nothing, but, still. [i]Wow.[/i] This just takes the cake. [del]Okay, I know she really filed it against the ARK guys who made the song for her, but, well, that's almost WORSE. She filed copyright claims [i]against the people who made the song.[/i][/del] [QUOTE=KEITH1437;30505587]I felt like I just watched an Aphex Twin video or something.[/QUOTE] Did somebody say "music video made of 110% mindfuckery"?

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;30505596]She didn't ask for it, fucking chuckleheads on the internet gave it to her[/QUOTE] No crap? not many asked for fame either, much of the time, it just happens. But she still doesn't deserve it.

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;30505596]She didn't ask for it, fucking chuckleheads on the internet gave it to her[/QUOTE] She paid 10,000$ to make a professional quality music video to be circulated and you're saying she didn't ask for this? She begged for this and got it.

I'm glad this got removed.

Now all we need to do is kill Rebecca Black so she can't make any more songs.

[QUOTE=plokoon9619;30505453]and this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti1D9t8n0qA[/media][/QUOTE] I just got out of a mental hospital after twenty years and watched this. The voices, they're there. It's them again. We can't go back but when we try to, we reach the end of where we came from. But then when we try to stop, he says no. We beg and cry and plead for him to stop, but he says for us to never arrive. We run and run but everybody's rushing, and we must get to the stop. We see the faces of old friends but everything is ticking off....
