Further to the Take Down Notice issued to YouTube by Rebecca Black earlier this week, Ark Music Factory, the company that helped Black create the song ‘Friday,’ have issued a statement claiming that they are working to resolved a complaint from Black’s representatives.

A spokesman for Ark stated:  “We’re disappointed, having been in good faith negotiations with Rebecca Black and her representatives for months regarding any open issues. There’s been an ongoing, open dialogue with our company. So we were blindsided to get a Take Down Notice — with no notice — alleging copyright infringement instead of a call or email from Rebecca’s representatives.”

The company claim they have rights to the ‘Friday’ video, that they will “continue to take the high road” and finished their statement by wishing Rebecca Black “continued success as she pursues her career.”
