You can now officially kick off your weekend with Rebecca Black's "Friday." The viral video was glaringly missing from YouTube Thursday, but it's back up today for a timely re-release. Black's rep confirmed with TMZ that they had "submitted a Take Down Notice" to YouTube as a result of a row with Ark Music, which ran the "Friday" YouTube account and earlier this week began charging $2.99 for people to tune into Black's "fun fun fun." Apparently Black's camp had taken legal action against Ark Music, which does not have any rights to her song--even though they were instrumental in getting Black's video so much attention, including talk show appearances and nearly $25,000 in weekly profits. The video is back and once again available to view for free.
