it’s a black day for Friday fans, as Rebecca Black’s “Friday” has been taken down due to a “copyright claim by Rebecca Black.”
We’re just as confused as you are. YouTube sent us the following statement:
“YouTube takes copyright infringement very seriously. When we receive a complaint alleging that a video infringes another person or company’s copyrights, we remove that video. Users who believe that a video was removed in error can appeal the copyright takedown.”​
The video, which had been viewed more than 167 million times, does have a history of disappearing briefly from YouTube. On Monday, it was briefly made available as a YouTube rental, costing $2.99 to watch, before returning to its normal free state.
We hope it returns soon — otherwise, how are we going to figure out what day it is tomorrow? If you already miss “Friday,” check out the videos of our favorite “Friday” parodies and other Friday-themed clips below.
Update: the original version is still available, for now, via an educational site called SchoolTube. What’s educational about “Friday”? We have no idea.
 
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *runs to find a bottle of happy pills to make life have meaning again*

thats okay. Katy Perry's video was bettah anyway.
 
In response to the YouTube video of "Friday", Black began to receive death threats in late February 2011, specifically by phone and email. These threats are being investigated by the Anaheim Police Department. After the video went viral on YouTube and other social media sites it was derided by many music critics and viewers, who dubbed it "the worst song ever." the video had received more than 8,990,000 "dislikes" on YouTube compared to more than 451,000 "likes".
