Everyone's favorite former Minnesota state high school basketball champion Prince is demanding fans take down his cover of Radiohead's "Creep" from YouTube. In the byzantine maze of music rights, Thom Yorke has the publishing rights to the song, whereas Prince only had live performance rights, probably under a blanket deal with Coachella and the major song publishers — not necessarily recording or much less video distribution rights from the performance. When asked about the fracas, Yorke replied "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our ... song." [LA Times]
