EDSON, Alta. — YouTube has reposted a popular video of an Alberta man belting out "Bohemian Rhapsody" while riding in the back of an RCMP cruiser.
For several hours, the website said the video was no longer available due to a copyright claim by EMI Music Publishing.
A spokesman with EMI says while the company often requests videos be pulled from the site if they are disrespectful, it did not in this case.
Robert Wilkinson of Edson was arrested for impaired driving last fall and posted the video when he received it as evidence for his upcoming trial.
The 29-year-old sings the classic Queen tune, complete with hand gestures and head-banging, for six minutes while remembering nearly all the words.
He later posted a loving apology to the band on his Facebook page.
