Rick Roll is Dead- Original 'Rick Rolled' Video Removed by Viacom
More tomfoolery from the music company we love to hate- 'RICKROLL'D OMG OMG OVER 20 MILLION RICKROLL'D' has been removed from YouTube. With approximately 31,132,500 views, you can guarantee about half of that (since we've all seen it more than once) are pretty pissed about it. What are your thoughts on this being removed, and Rick Rolling in general?
Spoiler Alert:

Some company's are just so money driven it makes me sick.
|
If they wanted to remove it, it seems strange that they would wait this long to do so. Are we certain that Viacom was responsible?
|
Meh, there are still many other rick roll videos.

FWAWHAT!? It's back now. YouTube says;

As far as I can tell, the assertion that YouTube reviews flagged material is either deceptive or an outright lie. More accurately, I think they just delete videos that receive an improbably high number of flags and then only bother to restore them if there's enough backlash. I've also seen videos removed by corporations like Warner that had no content belonging to that company whatsoever, which leads me to believe that verified corporations are basically just given admin privileges and set loose to delete any offending material.

Still, Rick Roll still is up actually, but youtube needs to hire people to check for copyright infredgement rather then just delete the videos without looking at them.

Youtube isn't effed up, DMCA is. Realize that a company like Google has a lot of assets, and likewise a whole lot to lose. Big companies need to be careful to follow DMCA complaints, because by that law, big media can sue their butt's off if they don't. This isn't to say Google couldn't review the complaints, but that would be a costly and still somewhat error prone endeavor. In reality, copyright law simply hasn't adjusted to the internet yet, or is trying to, but in the wrong ways.
|
Basically, copyright law is panically trying to end internet music and stuff instead of letting it be.
|
Viacom flagged it? Oh, no worries then. They claim copyright on things that they don't even own. A YTP regarding Meet The Scout uploaded by ben4hotrods was flagged by Viacom until the claim was disputed.

That's a lie! And guess what? I GOT RICKROLLD! I can't believe that that rickroll is on there. You know what I think? I think that Rick or whoever the hell he is should **** **** Censored **** **** On a chick! :evil:

But... it's a good song...

Seriously?! It's a popular video I understand and it's okay ,but I didn't know that many people watched it. |

There, Memes Annotated. That's the reason RickRoll-type videos have that many views, not because it's a good song (which, frankly, it kinda is) |
