Teletubby 130,603 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Songs by Adele, Bob Dylan, Green Day, R.E.M., Burna Boy, Rush and many others are currently unplayable on YouTube in the U.S. 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.” SESAC is among several companies that helps songwriters protect their original work and collect royalties. Just as with Universal Music Group’s dispute with TikTok earlier this year, which resulted in four million songs being pulled from the social media platform for months, SESAC and YouTube have not reached a deal agreement on renewal terms. Thus, SESAC is within its purview to block public performances of music, from streaming to radio play, though this is often hard to enforce. source source i ❤️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helxig 40,917 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago We really need to keep torrenting and pirating and streaming alive because I'm getting really sick of this era where these giant businesses own everything and we are just 'borrowing' it from them. We own nothing these days and everything can be taken away at the drop of a hat when these multi-billionaires decide to have a pissing match over who gets to have more ads and steal more money Like I was literally at my mum's house today and found a massive stash of cassette tapes and CDs and had this moment of realisation that all of this music has just existed on these things for literal decades and is still just as useable and untouched and unchanged as it was the day it was bought. Compared to this bullsh.it that's happening now I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to this bullsh.it that's happening now Exactly! Music, series, movies, even games now, we own nothing anymore. Let's not even talk about the digitalisation of money, I didn't have any cash for at least 3 years, just cards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
