Rebecca Black Suing Company Over "Friday" Song And Video

Rebecca Black

Three months ago, the Judiciary Report stated a legal battle was underway at Ark Music Factory over the Rebecca Black song and video "Friday" (Legal Fight Breaks Out Over Rebecca Black's Unoriginal "Friday").

The language that was being bantered about between the two parties, had an adversarial tone to it. But nonetheless, they denied their was any real problem. Fast-forward three months and the "Friday" video has been yanked from YouTube by Black's family and they have retained an attorney for a legal fight over the rights to the song and video. Clearly, the discussions were not amicable for the parties to reach such an impasse.

YouTube Video Embedding Diminishes View Count

Google's YouTube enables people to embedded videos on other websites. However, this feature reduces a video's viewer count, which is often used to gauge popularity. It appears embedding reduces the view count, leading some YouTube account holders to "disable embedding."

Google should improve this feature. Internet advertising companies, such as Google's Adsense, use software to track each time an ad is shown and clicked on publisher's websites. YouTube should adopt such a feature for embedding, to keep track of how often a video is shown on another site.

Britney Spears Gets Transvestite To Be Butt Double - And He Looks Better Than She Does

Britney Spears

Sony Music maniac, Britney Spears, hired a transvestite (man dressed as a woman) to be her butt body double in her latest tacky, lewd music video and lo and behold, the tranny's butt looks way better than hers. What is going on in Britney Spears' head that she thought a man was to be her butt double. Seriously, Spears is completely confused and someone needs to ask these questions to ascertain her mental state.

Britney Spears' Body Double

I have a question, why is it everyone in the video looks like they need to take a bath...with industrial strength soap and scrub brushes. The unwashed image of raggedy tights and stockings, dirty looking clothes and weedwacker weaves is not a good look. It needs to stop.

Legal Fight Breaks Out Over Rebecca Black's Unoriginal "Friday"

A legal fight has erupted over the rights to the Rebecca Black song and video "Friday." Ark Music Factory, who wrote and produced the song, in exchange for $2,000 from the 13-year-old's parents, insist they own the rights to the project. Black's parents beg to differ. As a result, there is talk of potential legal action over a song and video netting $27,000 per week via YouTube and iTunes.

Rebecca Black's "Friday"

Considering, Rebecca Black and her parents did not write the song or video, they most likely do not own the rights to either product, as that is the standard in the entertainment industry. Unless they signed a contract with Ark Music Factory, specifically stipulating they own the song and video, they are out of gas, as the aforementioned company appears to be functioning as a record label and production company.

Jodeci

Coincidentally, in listening to "Friday" it dawned on me last week that the song sounds like Jodeci's raunchy 1993 track "Let's Go Through The Motions." The songs have similar synths, basslines, melodies, rhythm, raps, crowd chants of "yea" and the word "day" repeated in the chorus. Both videos also feature a lot of people partying in the backyard of a house, a singer in bed and a car scene. However, Jodeci did theirs almost two decades ago.

Side Bar: Is it really appropriate that a 13-year-old should be singing about partying on the weekend, rather than studying and fighting acne. The subject matter seems older than the artist.

13-year-old Rebecca Black tried her hand at singing, via a $2,000 check her mother cut to a local recording studio. A low budget music video was made to accompany the recorded song entitled "Friday." It was then uploaded to YouTube.

Rebecca Black wants to do a duet with Justin Bieber

To date she has received 34,000,000 views and she is reportedly making $27,000 per week, but there is just one problem - people reportedly really hate the song...and the video clip. It has been labeled "the worst music video ever" and the song "Friday" is simultaneously being insulted as well. They are treating her like it's "Black Friday" (get the joke: her last name is "Black" and the song is called "Friday").

Black "Friday"?

Black is being bashed as all over the internet. While she sings better than Britney Spears and Rihanna, the song "Friday" gets repetitively irritating at some points in the track. However, somebody must be buying it, as it is on the iTunes chart.
