Michael Blake wrote a song based on the digits of Pi and placed it on YouTube. It was removed due to copyright claims by Lars Erickson:

who wrote a music to Pi prior to that.

Michael is explaining the removal:

Michael's music was sneaked in anyway:

We have music at OEIS, should we help Michael fight his claim? Can Lars sue us? Are we protected from people like Lars?
