(CBS) - Earlier today, we wrote about how the ridiculous yet catchy song "Friday" was taken off YouTube by Rebecca Black's lawyers. The YouTube page reads, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black."

The annoyingly popular video - in a director's cut edition - resurfaced on a Rebecca Black VEVO-branded page (also on YouTube) only to be taken down moments later.

The YouTube page reads, "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated. Sorry about that."

When we clicked on the VEVO-branded profile, YouTube told us that "RebeccaBlackOnVEVO has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines."

All this hullabaloo comes about as the 13-year-old and Ark Music Factory fuss over who owns the rights to the highly-buzzed-about jam. Ark Music is considered a "vanity" production company that aspiring artists - or in Black's case, parents of an aspiring artist - pay thousands of dollars for videos to be written, filmed and promoted. The company's tagline: "Get Discovered!"

"In March, Black's lawyers sent a letter to Ark Music, accusing the company of copyright infringement and unlawful exploitation of her publicity rights," said The Hollywood Reporter. Black claims she never got the master recordings she was entitled to by contract.
