Avril Lavigne Wants $2 Million From YouTube
Avril Lavigne is looking for a $2 million payday from YouTube since her video "Girlfriend" is the site’s most-viewed video of all-time. Just one catch - the play count was inflated artificially by members of the Avril Bandaids fan site which, of course, hardly seems fair. The video has been watched more than 92 million times but it’s not clear how much of this was from people actually searching out and watching the clip versus what has resulted from the manual manipulation of Avril fans.
YouTube’s current policy is to remove videos from their "most-played" section if it looks like that count system has been tampered with but "Girlfriend" has yet to be moved. All the same, a spokesperson for the popular video site says that safeguards are now in place to ensure that this kind of abuse doesn’t happen in the future.
Well, since we are talking about it… what the hell? Let’s just watch the video:
