It’s already been posted at TechCrunch and LaughingSquid – so, ME TOO! But, I have to say, I laughed my ass off watching it. So in case you don’t tune into those “other” channels, here’s your chance to laugh too. Hat’s off to Matt Hempey, clearly a geeky Weird Al Yankovic in-waiting…Uh, Matt, I’d watch out for Billy Joel and/or his record company – unless of course you’ve gotten the rights. This video is going super-critical-viral!

Don’t need to worry about Billy Joel. Parody’s are a form a free speech, so no need to get permission from the original creator. Weird Al just does it because it makes him feel better that he got the authors permission.
Thanks for the comment JT, interesting to note that parody is protected speech. Wonder when that one will be overturned?
I remember there being a court case last year maybe involving a parody that was posted to youtube, forget what it exactly was, but ruling was because of it being a parody its free speech.
Thanks JT, that might make an interesting entry in its own right. I’ll have to take a look into that.
Hempey used my photo of Valleywag’s Owen Thomas in the video. I was never asked for my permission. The photo was shot for Wired News many months ago, when Owen was still with Business 2.0. I maintain the copyright on the image and have contacted Hempey.
