p2pnet news view | P2P | Music:- Music producer Calvin Harris is well pissed with Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music’s BPI (British Phornographic Industry).

The Big 4 spin unit had Calvin’s own music video removed from his YouTube account for alleged copyright violation.

That’s the Muzik Biz for you.

Here’s how Calvin described events on Twitter,  not necessarily in strict order of appearance »»»

• Youtube have now removed the ORIGINAL mix and video of Ready For The Weekend, due to a ‘copyright claim’.
• It’s the fucking BPI. FUCK YOU ‘The BPI’ what have you ever done for anybody you useless shower of [expletive removed to protect the innocent].
• Fantastic use of time combating piracy by removing my own videos, what a fucking revelation. Fuck the Torrent sites, this is the way forward
• The BPI are the worst organisation to ever walk the earth and their setup is shambolic and their online employees are all massive retards
• I’m going to drive my car into the big window in the BPI’s offices on my way to the studio this morning
• I’m going to hire a 4×4 for the day so i make more of an impact, and hopefully reach the online monkeys at the back of the office
• Then i’m going to jump out the sunroof and get busy with a frying pan. OR WOK
• Ok I got a bit caught up in the heat of the moment. Sorry to employees of the BPI who aren’t massive retards. But please put my video back
• Just arrived at the House of Lords in a monster truck to launch my complaint against the BPI
  Shit I think I just took out an innocent bystander. Its hard to manoeuvre this damn thing. Still, its all for a worthy cause

And then …

“The good news is, the video is back up! http://bit.ly/1077TS The bad news is, i rented the monster truck for 3 days …”

You can always count on Geoff Taylor and his BPI phk-ups.
