Woah, seems bad..
What about if the song from the XX is remixed? Also, what about everyone using copyrighted song for their videos??
Digital air patented that way to do bullet time? The only way you can do that though.. That news getting me mad!! haha it's like if i patented using toilet paper to clean my bum... crazy shit! woah again..
Shall i remove the video?

Unless you're promoting and making money off this video, you shouldn't have any problem using this song. I don't see why they'd bust you for a crazy bill off a video that has no income. Other than that, well done.

I Agree with Cuyler31, there is no point in them taking an amateur photographer to court over this, I was just pointing this out incase you ever wanted to do it commercially.
But actually promoting the video in order to market yourself could be seen as commercial usage.
Regarding the remixing, I would speak to a music expert on this, don't take advice on forums, find somebody that REALLY knows what the answer is, like a music lawyer. You could write to them and just ask for permission, you never know you might actually get it.
The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" song used a sample of the "Rolling Stones - The Last Time" (orchestra version), Mick Jagger took it to court and won, and every penny of the Verve's money that was made from that track (millions) went to Mick Jagger. It only takes a really small amount of the music to be deemed as copyright infringement.
The only way to take bullet time without conflicting their patents, is by using still cameras, and firing them at EXACTLY the same time and using those frames.
That has no patents as it was done by Edward Muybridge in the 1800's.
If the video is just a bit of fun, leave it on, as it is a great vid, and people love it including myself, but the choice is ultimately yours.

Be really careful though, as you're using copyrighted music from the XX and their promoters/distributors and producers will not be happy which could land you in a court room. Also the process you're using is patented by digital air in California.
We have also done bullet time and know how hard it is and were going to do it the way you did it there, which is take videos and then pick the still image that you need from each camera.
The problem is that digital airs patent says something like "if a picture is taken from a frame by frame basis, then that is ours" (Well something like that lol).

The type of money these guys could claim from you is huge (easily 5 or 6 figure numbers), be careful.
But well done guys, looks great, just stick within the laws to keep the lawyers of your arse
