Rebecca Black Pulls 'Friday' Video From YouTube

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jun 17th 2011 06:55AM

Today's Friday but there's no Rebecca Black to be found on YouTube. The teenager-turned-YouTube sensation has pulled her video for 'Friday' from the site due to a legal issue over her image.

Accord to TMZ, Black has been threatening to sue her label, Ark Music Factory, claiming they have exploited her image and catchy 'Friday' song. As a result of the impending legal battle, Black's team requested the video be removed from the video-sharing site.

"We can confirm that we submitted a Take Down Notice to YouTube as a result of the dispute we have with Ark Music regarding the 'Friday' video," a rep from Black's camp told TMZ.

The move comes just days after a pay-to-watch experiment involving Black's video failed. The user who uploaded Black's 'Friday' video -- presumably Ark Music -- instituted a $2.99 paywall to watch the the clip in its entirety. However, the fee scheme didn't last long and the video was up like normal shortly thereafter.

So those looking forward to having some "fun fun fun" today while jamming out to 'Friday,' don't try YouTube. All you'll get is this message: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black."

Why couldn't this happen on Monday?

Heads Up, It's Still 'Friday' on DailyMotion:

Try to watch a Prince video and the same thing happens. Many other artist search yield the same result. Rebecca Black your trip of fame is over. There will be no demand for you to place that video on YT or any other sharing service. It was all a FAD. Quickly make/release another song while their is still some value left to your name.

By Jim

Thank God she pulled it. It is probably the worst song ever recorded.

Oh . . . NO!!!!!!!!

How can the sun rise and set, the earth keep spinning, the tides keep going in and out without this God-given talent and the song that pleases both the muses and public alike . . . what will we DO????????????

. . . Psych!

Who cares? It was the most ridiculously awful song ever. How in the world she got a record deal when there are so many other much more talented artists out there who don't.

By ccoll004

I was wondering the same thing. It was for good laughs, but the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

Rebecca, you are adorable and despite the silly song, you came across as uber-talented for a 13 year-old! Give them hell Rebecca!

Lol yeaaah you said she is talented and used the word uber so your either a friend or over 60

By rludtke

This was just a birthday gift from her dad. Spent a lot of money to have the video made for her, an awesome thing for a 13-14 year old don't you think?. So it got released to the internet, So what? Looks like she had fun, that's what counts. Remember, it is a kid's video.
