Prince DMCAs YouTube To Block Radiohead Song

Enigma2175 writes "CNN is reporting that videos from the Coachella music festival showing Prince covering Radiohead's 'Creep' have been removed by Prince's label, NPG records. Thom Yorke of Radiohead, when told of Prince's action, said 'Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our... song.' No comment from YouTube or Prince yet. Under the DMCA, YouTube is not required to verify the entity making a request is actually the copyright holder and this seems to be just another example of DMCA abuse." As the article points out, Prince seems to have a love-hate relationship with the Interwebs.

Re:There are 3 copyright claims in play

Thanks, I stole it (slightly modified) from someone else.

I just happen to have an Alpha. With Linux/GCC, short is 16 bits, int is 32 bits, and long is 64 bits.

Regardless, a portable C program may only assume that short can hold values in the range -32767 through +32767. Anything else has the potential for overflow (which is undefined behavior with signed types).

True.

If you don't have the balls to do your delivery straight and suffer the downmods of the ignorant, you don't deserve upmods either.
