It's also such an obvious lie - I can trivially find lots of danish music on youtube. The music that has been taken down is the music that has not been licensed through the copyright society at the price they want.

Do you not see the difference between a headline that is a bit more honest - Google removes unlicensed music? Or google and danish copyright society cannot agree to terms?

- erk__ 6y agoI had originally used the title of the document which is "PRESS RELESE: ..." but it has since been altered. I had not removed it because I thought it made it clearer that this did not come from a neutral party. As it is a press release from one of the parties in this issue. Also, I do not know where you are from, but I am currently residing in Denmark and that music video you have linked is only accessible with YouTube Premium. As far as know this is only an issue when accessing the music from Denmark.

- donor20 6y agoIt's not that bad. In the US there are 5 PROs which is better than a lot of places. And it does make licensing for users of music easier to have these societies. That said, in Europe these are more like monopolies. Still not bad it will be interesting to see if Youtube at some point starts charging for distribution. Spotify does this with sponsored songs - you can pay to get distribution.
