Today, it cost people $2.99 to rent "Friday" music video on Youtube

We have all heard the verbal diarrhea of Rebecca Black and I can imagine it wasn’t a pleasurable experience for anyone. The internet criminals over at Ark Music Factory are responsible for bringing dozens of auto-tuned Justin Bieber/Miley Cyrus clones into the world and spreading them all over Youtube like rancid mayonnaise. Don’t get us wrong — we don’t hate these kids, in-fact we really respect them for having the guts to create music and put it in-front of the internet — the people we despise is Ark Music Factory — not because they’re using kids as physical goods, but that they have no idea how the internet works.
Today it cost only $2.99 to watch our horrible video!
In just six months, “Friday” has amassed over 165 Million views and Ark Music Factory is making a killing from ads, iTunes sales and merchandise, mind you the video has been disliked 3 Million times. Now, you’d think that Ark Music Factory would make sense of this and continue making tons of cash from the ads and free advertising, but heres where they completely drove of the cliff. Today when peope loaded up “Friday” on Youtube, they were asked to pay $2.99 to rent the 4 minute video for 72 hours. Nobody even came close, and Ark Music Factory has since marked it as free again.
This video would not have 165 Million views if it had cost $2.99 to watch — get that through your thick skulls Ark Music Factory. Nobody goes out of their way to watch this video, and we guaruntee that people would not pay $0.99 to buy the video — let alone pay $2.99 to rent the video for 72 hours. We have no idea why companies think they can suddenly charge for something they distributed for free because it suddenly became successful.
