Calvin Harris has used his Twitter blog this week to launch a tirade against youtube the likes of which we’re not going to see again for a while. It seems the YouTube idiots had removed the official video for his new single ‘Ready For The Weekend’ from the site.
The Scottish DJ went on to mention the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) as “a useless shower of c**ts” who were failing to adequately combat music piracy.
“Youtube have now removed the ORIGINAL mix and video of Ready For The Weekend, due to a ‘copyright claim’,” he wrote.
“IT’S MY F**KING SONG YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARDS. This is enough to tip me over the edge, i’m not joking. There are videos up there that other people have uploaded of the same song, and they haven’t been removed!? But mine does!
Apparently they took down the one with the rights to it and left the rest.. Interesting means of combatting piracy.
