They said: "Blog, blog, blog it all. Won't you blog about this song."
So I did... Here Comes Another Bubble on ActiveRain. You can't see the video there anymore. It is not on YouTube.
It was funny. It was brilliant. It was the most viewed video on YouTube.
I first read on Sellsius Real Estate Blog that YouTube had to take it down... YouTube Removes Parody over 1 Photo. Joe (I think this is Joe Ferrera) argues fair use.
Miss the clever parody? *** You can still see the video on Valleywag... and Owen Thomas writes about why it was taken down in Here comes another takedown *** hmmmm you can see Here Comes Another Bubble on Valleywag but you can't see it on YouTube... because they got the DMCA. Here's the photographer on Flickr. "another photo used without permission or credit" On Flickr 'Fetching' who I assume is Lane Hartwell wrote: "As you can see, the video has been viewed over 230,000 times so far on youtube."
Here's what Richter Scales had to say about the takedown - DMCA takedown of here comes another bubble and here's more on D: All Things Digital where Kara Swisher interviewed Tom Shields of the Richter Scales.
"Shields defends the use of all material in the very funny video, noting it is a satire and they are not making any money it, pointing to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's explanation of fair use rules.
I want my MTV... ooops wrong decade. I want my YouTube... Cut that one photo out and put it back up on YouTube.... What you didn't ask permission of any of the photographers???? Darn!
