Songs by Adele, Bob Dylan, Green Day, Many More Blocked by YouTube in Legal Dispute
 

Songs by Bob Dylan, Green Day, R.E.M., Burna Boy, Rush and many others are currently unplayable on YouTube due to a legal dispute between the platform and the performing rights organization SESAC.

 

Attempts to play many, but not all, songs by those artists on Saturday met with the following message: "This video contains content from SESAC. It is not available in your country."

A similar dispute between Universal Music Group and TikTok raged on for several months earlier this year before being resolved.

They better f***ing fix this NOW! I won't be able to deal with so many videos, performances, official audios, etc. being blocked for so many months. 
They're even blocking fan-posted performances no matter how long ago they were uploaded or how little views they had. I pray to God those aren't gone forever :(

Mods, if this is in the wrong section, lmk pls

You'd think they would have this sorted out before it got to this point. So many music videos have been blocked and it's terrible that this even something that is possible.

I hope Gaga doesnt get impacted by this. Dont care about the rest.
