British DJ CALVIN HARRIS has taken to the internet to launch a foul-mouthed rant against music industry bosses in an ongoing dispute over video-sharing website YouTube.com The chart-topper is fuming after many of his music videos were removed from the site as industry executives battle to enforce copyright protection over artists’ work.
The website has been forced to take down promos from a number of high profile musicians including Madonna and Led Zeppelin after record labels demanded royalties from the videos screened online.
And Harris is the latest star to fall victim to the ongoing legal wrangling - several of his videos have been removed from the site, and the DJ is not happy about it.
Harris has taken to his Twitter.com page to voice his anger over the overzealous copyright enforcements - and he has blamed executives at music industry watchdog the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for the dispute.
He writes, "Youtube have now removed the original mix and video of Ready For The Weekend, due to a ‘copyright claim’. It’s my f**king song you absolute b**tards. 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! "It’s the f**king BPI. F**k you… What have you ever done for anybody you useless shower of c**ts. Fantastic use of time combating piracy by removing my own videos. The BPI are the worst organisation to ever walk the earth and their setup is shambolic and their online employees are all massive retards." But the star subsequently regretted his outburst and apologised to workers at the BPI for his critisisms in his next post, adding, "OK I got a bit caught up in the heat of the moment. Sorry to employees of the BPI who aren’t massive retards. But please put my video back."
