(AP) - Rebecca Black's official "Friday" music video has been taken off YouTube.


The page where the video starring the 13-year-old singer once played now says it "is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black."
 

Black's spokesman says her team sent a takedown notice to YouTube because of a dispute over the video with Ark Music Factory, the company Black's parents paid $4,000 to produce the song and video.


Earlier this week, the firm began charging viewers $2.99 to watch the clip.


Lawyers for Black and Ark Music have been haggling over who owns the rights to everything associated with "Friday" since it became a sensation earlier this year.
 

The video had amassed more than 160 million views and more than 3 million "dislikes."

I wonder if they actually think very many people will pay 3 hard earned dollars to hear this garbage. Amusing.
