Bangarang
Video for Pogo’s track ‘Bangarang’. This piece is composed of sounds from the Spielberg classic film ‘Hook’, a sine wave bass, and “a few cymbals for extra spice” to quote Pogo’s YouTube description.
‘Bangarang’ is so far the only Pogo video ever to be removed from YouTube. On the 10th of September 2009, Sony Pictures Entertainment filed a notice to YouTube claiming that ‘Bangarang’ is an infringement of copyright. Many listeners responded to this with much criticism, posting numerous complaints to Pogo’s YouTube page and uploading several copies of the video to their accounts. Pogo was quick to file a counter notice to YouTube, and wrote an article on his blog explaining the fallacies of their claim.
Shortly after Pogo filed his claim, ‘Bangarang’ was reactivated on YouTube and remains live to this day.
