YouTube has blocked videos featuring artists like Bob Dylan and Adele in the US due to failed negotiations with SESAC, impacting many music fans.
YouTube explained, 'Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before its expiration. We take copyright very seriously...'
The situation reflects previous disputes in the music industry, such as the withdrawal of Universal Music Group songs from TikTok during negotiations over royalties.
SESAC, unlike record labels, collects royalties for songwriters and publishers, representing a diverse range of artists including Burna Boy and Kenny Rogers.
