A director's cut of 'Friday' was recently posted on Black's official YouTube account after the original promo was pulled from the video-sharing website on Thursday. However, Black's video was quickly removed for the second time.
Attempts to play the video resulted in the message: "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been closed. A representative previously explained that the original clip, which had more than million views, was taken down due to a "dispute" with Ark Music. When we receive a complaint alleging that a video infringes another person or company's copyrights, we remove that video. Black has previously expressed her hope that the single will not detract from her attempts to be taken seriously as an artist.
She has amassed nearly as many "dislikes" as she has YouTube viewers since unleashing her debut song Friday earlier this year, but now Rebecca Black's detested single has been removed from the international video site owing to a dispute with her record label.
Ark Music Factory, the company behind the teenager's single, has given few details about what the dispute involves, but TMZ quotes a spokesperson for the singer as saying: "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.
This is thought to have caused disagreement between Ark and Black's representatives over who owns the rights to Black's image. Black's mother originally paid Ark to write and produce the song and its accompanying video for her daughter. Friday was released in March and became a viral hit either because of or despite its vacuous lyrics. Its chorus repeats the words Friday, and its verses list the many things Black does on that day: eat cereal, go to school, say Friday over and over again in anticipation of an amazing weekend.
However, despite achieving m YouTube views, Black was also the subject of sustained internet abuse.
