Tedious or elegant ?

Level 2

Let C r ( α ) = α ( α 1 ) ( α 2 ) . . . ( α r + 1 ) r ! C_r(\alpha) = \displaystyle \frac{\alpha(\alpha-1)(\alpha-2)...(\alpha-r+1)}{r!} . Then evaluate the definite integral

0 1 C 2015 ( y 1 ) ( 1 y + 1 + 1 y + 2 + . . . + 1 y + 2015 ) d y \displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} C_{2015}(-y-1)\left(\frac{1}{y+1}+\frac{1}{y+2}+...+\frac{1}{y+2015}\right) dy
