A link to an original version of the song on YouTube now says: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Universal Music Group". But it added: "The training of generative AI using our artists' music as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation.
