Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.
The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

The US is to start discussions on withdrawing troops from Europe later this year, the US NATO ambassador tells Reuters.
That’s the start of the end of the Cold War alliance. Europe is on its own and needs to act accordingly.
