Radiohead To Prince: Unblock “Creep” YouTube Vids

Radiohead Prince Coachella Creep Thom Yorke Cover YouTube Video

An interesting dispute over digital ownership is a-brewin’ between two major acts with differing views on music and the Internet - Radiohead and Prince. After videos of Prince covering Radiohead’s “Creep” at this year’s Coachella made it on to YouTube, the Purple One and his label have attempted to have all of the clips taken down claiming a copyright violation (despite, the fact that the song isn’t Prince’s and the posted videos were shot by fans). Thom Yorke recently revealed that after his band had trouble watching the clip, he’s asked for Prince and YouTube to unblock the videos claiming copyright ownership. Read more about the copyright conflict at Billboard.

  1. LOL. That is a pretty amusing story.

    FYI for you-tubers (not sayin I’m not one of em): though his performance of a song is not copyrightable and thus video of prince’s live performance is not copyrighted, live performances are protected by anti-bootlegging statutes.

  2. Oh and also, performances CAN be copyrighted if at the concert, prince was taping himself (thus fulfilling a requirement of copyright), which is why most artists now record their concerts and archive them. But the anti-bootlegging is designed to protect artists as well.

  3. Not exactly a mind-blowing cover to begin with. I’m just sayin’.

  4. I love Prince. I wish he were cooler about all this. Didn’t he also take down some of his largest fan sites as well?
