A Muted Response

My Barack Roll video has been muted due to the fact that it uses "Never Gonna Give You Up".

I believe the use amounts to fair use, however I've been in contact with YouTube, I understand their position and I don't want to dispute it.

Anyhow, I thought I'd put this together to highlight the fairly funny position that the "Barack Roll", which has been muted due to the copyright issue, has in fact been discussed and praised by Rick Astley.

Let me know what you think.

@RayneMarina Calm down. I know. It's terrible. The R.Os are what you want to watch out for. I never like a person with those first two letters un their last name.

Upload the original video so people can download it, or even better, upload it to other video services that are more contributor friendly.

Dude, I've been doing that for years. They are an evil maniacal corporation and deserve to die a painful, gruesome and public death.

That, and they need to be rick rolled. All with pirated music.
