A showcase of nonsense

During the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Prince performed a cover of Radiohead´s “Creep”. Hours after tons of videos poped up on YOUTUBE.com. It was on the site for a while but al of a sudden Prince decided that it was copyright infringement and demanded that it be taken off; that´s when all the drama started you see “Creep” is not a song that belongs to Prince and Prince doesn´t own the videos on youtube either. Billboard says:
After word spread that Prince covered Radiohead’s “Creep” at Coachella, the tens of thousands who couldn’t be there ran to YouTube for a peek. Everyone was quickly denied _ even Radiohead. All videos of Prince’s unique rendition of Radiohead’s early hit were quickly taken down, leaving only a message that his label, NPG Records, had removed the clips, claiming a copyright violation. But the posted videos were shot by fans and, obviously, the song isn’t Prince’s. In a recent interview, Thom Yorke said he heard about Prince’s performance from a text message and thought it was “hilarious.” Yorke laughed when his bandmate, guitarist Ed O’Brien, said the blocking had prevented him from seeing Prince’s version of their song. “Really? He’s blocked it?” asked Yorke, who figured it was their song to block or not. “Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment.” Yorke added: “Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our … song.”
…intersting huh?? I just hope we got to see the video
