The popular YouTube video, JK Wedding Entrance Dance, has received over 17 million views at the time of this posting. The video is played to the music of Chris Brown's single "Forever."
In the past, recording companies have pushed YouTube to remove videos that play copyrighted songs in the background. Warner Music has long taken this route to prevent new listeners from discovering their music.
The Internet community has found an unlikely weapon in the wedding dance video to counter overbearing copyright law claims by the music industry. YouTube recently announced that sales of the year-old song have increased to #4 on iTunes and #3 on Amazon.
Your move, music industry.
