Prince VS Radiohead

Interesting copyright issue:

[Prince's]record label apparently sent a takedown notice to YouTube over a video of Prince performing a cover of Radiohead's "Creep" at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. The interesting thing is that Radiohead wants the video put back up. A copy is available at present, but it's hard to tell whether this is because someone else posted the video or because YouTube put it back up at Radiohead's request.

Well, the band was playing Creep, but I don't know what the hell Prince was singing.

Horrible.

Apparently Thom Yorke (frontman of Radiohead) wanted it back up because he thought it was "funny."

There was a great response from Yorke back in May:

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."
