Calvin Harris 'fuming' over YouTube error

Calvin Harris has used his Twitter blog to launch an explosive tirade against YouTube after it removed the official video for his new single 'Ready For The Weekend' from the site.

The Scottish DJ went on to blast the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) as "a useless shower of c**ts" who were failing to adequately combat music piracy.

"Youtube have now removed the ORIGINAL mix and video of Ready For The Weekend, due to a 'copyright claim'," he wrote.

"IT'S MY F**KING SONG YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARDS. This is enough to tip me over the edge, i'm not joking. There are videos up there that other people have uploaded of the same song, and they haven't been removed!? But mine does!

"It's the f**king BPI. F**K YOU 'The BPI' what have you ever done for anybody you useless shower of c**ts. Fantastic use of time combating piracy by removing my own videos, what a f**king revelation. F**k the Torrent sites, this is the way forward."

He continued: "The BPI are the worst organisation to ever walk the earth and their setup is shambolic and their online employees are all massive retards. This is unbelievable, and it seems I am completely powerless to do anything. Sony have done nothing, the BPI have done nothing.

"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 4x4 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. We already contacted them 3 DAYS AGO about the Fake Blood and High Contrast mixes and they've done nothing, just continued!?"

Issuing a part-retraction two hours later, Harris wrote: "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."
