Internet sensation Rebecca Black has been forced to remove her hit
video, "Friday," from YouTube as part of a dispute over image
rights.
The 13-year-old singer shot to fame when the promo for her song scored
millions of hits on the video-sharing website, but she is now locked in a legal
battle with the recording company bosses who helped her put the film
together.
Black, whose mother reportedly paid Los Angeles-based Ark Music to make the
video, has now removed the popular footage from YouTube because of the dispute
with Ark executives, according to TMZ.com.
The legal wrangling is reportedly down to a disagreement over who owns the
legal rights to the video.
For die-hard "Friday" fans, Black’s official
Vevo page has the “director’s cut” of the video
free.
