DETROIT (AP) -- The producers and sponsors of the "The Pure Michigan Statewide Singalong" say they hope to resolve a copyright dispute with the creators of the platinum hit song "Good Time" on which it is based.
A copyright claim from Songs Music Publishing led YouTube to take down the video of a statewide sing-along shot for Michigan's tourism agency.
The Pure Michigan agency based the video on its 50-city, one-week August road trip to promote Michigan as a place to visit, live, work and create a business.
Co-producer Jeff Barrett tells The Associated Press that his company obtained "usage approval" from the rights holders and is "working to resolve the issue." Pure Michigan spokesman David Lorenz says he's hopeful the popular video can return soon.
