A while back, a group called the Richter Scales created a video called Here Comes Another Bubble. It is a clever parody song using the music from We Didn’t Start the fire.
However, it was quickly taken down because of a DMCA request claiming copyright violation.
I posted about this back on 14.Dec.2007 at www.myephemerae.com/here-comes-another-bubble.
You can read about why it was (probably) taken down at this page on Valleyag.com: valleywag.com/tech/online-video/here-comes-another-takedown-332666.php
More information and commentary (particularly of interest to photographers) is at Here Comes Another Fair Use Dispute (12.Dec.2007: www.jmg-galleries.com/blog/2007/12/12/here-comes-another-fair-use-dispute).
Now, the Richter Scales have responded. They have posted V1.1 of the video back onto YouTube and provided full credit to all the images both in the video itself and also on a credits page on their site: richterscales.com/bubble_credits.
Lane Hartwell, the artist who originally objected, has a page about the issue here: fetching.net/2007/12/my-statement-regarding-the-new-version-of-the-richter-scales-video
