The music video "Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind)" is a parody of the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys song "Empire State of Mind," replacing references to the "Empire State" of New York with references to the city of Newport in South Wales. The word "ymerodraeth" means "empire" in Welsh. ==Production and release== The video was directed by the London-based filmmaker M-J Delaney, and featured London-based actors Alex Warren and Terema Wainwright, rapping and singing respectively. The lyrics were written by Tom Williams, Leo Sloley and M-J Delaney. Published on the web on 20 July 2010, the video went viral and was featured by BBC News.〔, interview with video clips〕 By the middle of August 2010, nearly 2.5 million people had watched it on YouTube. YouTube removed the video on 10 August due to a copyright claim by music publishers EMI Music Publishing. The lack of a fair dealing exclusion for parody works, exercised by EMI in their takedown notice, was cited in the Hargreaves Review on Copyright, commissioned by the Newport-based Intellectual Property Office. The review evolved into the Copyright (Public Administration) Regulations 2014. The song includes references to Welsh celebrities such as Shirley Bassey, Craig Bellamy and Gavin Henson, and to Welsh stereotypes such as Welsh rarebit and leeks, along with Newport references such as Newport Gwent Dragons and the A4042 road. Warren and Wainwright were greeted with applause when they performed the song in Newport at the 2010 Newport Cityfest.
