YouTube Pulls the Original Rickroll Video, Spurring Inevitable Wave of Protest Rickrolls [Updated]

Really? Really Sony BMG? After over 30 million views you just now decided to make YouTube pull Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" for a terms of use violation? If you were going to try to stop rickrolling, couldn't you have at least done it a couple years ago?

Do you know what's going to happen now? People are going to be rickrolling other people as much as possible using illicit streams as a protest all day. Thanks, assholes. Thanks.
