Actually cannot believe this. After 13 years, Sony/BMG have decided to take down Rick Astley's "Never gunna give you up" due to a dispute with Youtube over ad royalties.

It's completely blocked globally. Actual end of an era.

@vegetablegremlin I will _not_ click on the link.
@vegetablegremlin I... I...

I FELL FOR IT GOSH DARN IT
@vegetablegremlin jokes on you I actually like that song 👀
@eonity [ nodding ] no doubt you have the album already and dont need to worry about it being pulled down
@vegetablegremlin That's how the Rick rolls. :(
@vegetablegremlin I don't need to click it, cause I can already hear it in my head 😎

@elexia @vegetablegremlin

Clearly, it's never gonna give you up.

@bodhidave I'm mentally rickrolling myself at this point. @vegetablegremlin
@vegetablegremlin the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people to rickroll themselves
@vegetablegremlin of course I'm gonna click on it, I love this song. It's not a rick roll if I want to listen to it
@vegetablegremlin Am I the only unironic Rick Astley fan on the Internet?
@vegetablegremlin But the era of pathetic music industry management continues. They long lost me as a customer anyway (rootkit on Audio CDs was the boiling point) apart from small independent labels & directly sold content by band/musicians. At least in Germany you sadly still pay them money automatically when buying anything that could potentially be used to copy music.
@vegetablegremlin Looks like Sony/BMG is going to give this song up.
@vegetablegremlin There was a preview and I clicked it anyways.
@art @vegetablegremlin It’s a good song. What’s not to click? 🤷‍♀️
