YouTube Bids Adieu to Rickroll Video
24Feb2010
"In what's either the saddest or most fantastic news of the week, the YouTube video for Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' has been deemed a copyright violation.
Yes, that means the cheesy '80s pop video with tens of millions of views--the center of the "Rickrolling" Internet phenomenon--is no more.
It's not quite clear when it was removed, but the blog Neowin noticed it early Wednesday. "Never Gonna Give You Up" comes from the Astley album "Whenever You Need Somebody," which was released by RCA Records, currently a division of Sony Music Entertainment." source
Our Take: Great, now we never have to worry about being Rickrolled again. Check out our tribute to this occasion here.
