‘Here comes another bubble’ taken down
It seems that YouTube can indeed protect copyright! In this case it’s a bit of a shame, since the video-sharing service just took down video parody called “Here Comes Another Bubble” by San Francisco’s Richter Scales, which I posted a little while back.
The video is sung to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and perfectly nails the Web 2.0 mania that has been starting to spread this year. It hits the nail right on the head. The video opens, in fact, with a BoomTown video of an interview with Facebook investor Peter Thiel, who talks about there not being a bubble – yeah, right. Consequently, someone must have sent YouTube a take-down and the company honored it without contacting the Richter Scales first.
Not that it matters, because I found another version on MetaCafe.
