The producers and sponsors of the “The Pure Michigan Statewide
Singalong” are facing the copyright infringement allegations from the creators of the platinum hit song “Good Time” on which it is based. However, they say that they hope to resolve a copyright dispute with the creators.
On Friday, a copyright claim from Songs Music Publishing led YouTube to take down the popular video of a statewide sing-along shot for
Michigan’s tourism promotion agency. The song was intended to promote travel in the state.
The video of the singlong was produced by Jeff Barrett and Rob Bliss of Grand Rapids-based Status Creative. It uses the melody and adapts the lyrics of “Good
Time,” written by Brian Lee and Matthew Thiessen.
Mr. David Lorenz, the spokesman for Pure Michigan, (the nonprofit agency that promotes travel in the state) said he hopes talks between the producers and copyright holders will let Pure Michigan post the video again.
