- williamtwild 6y agoYou can yell at google all you want but ultimately it’s the rights holders who push this initiative
- encom 6y agoAll of them at once, for some reason, or is Google just covering their ass? I heard there was some boring lawyer standoff between Google and KODA, the danish music cartel, but the Google blockade goes way beyond danish music. I've seen Russian music blocked even. [1] But I see your point, though I'm not sure who is more unlikeable, Google or the music industry. Actually, let it never be said that I'm not fair: They can all get bent.

- spurgu 6y agoWhat did I just watch? :D
- emptysongglass 6y agoFellow Dane here and someone who used to work with Danish musicians: KODA is the enemy. It'd be a more worthy initiative to go yell at them: they are literally the mafia of music in Denmark.
- vaccinator 6y agoWhat is danes?
- encom 6y agoDanes are the proud people who inhabit the Kingdom of Denmark.
- doublesCs 6y agoWhy are people always called "proud people"? Are there no people embarrassed of their country?
- emptysongglass 6y agoI'm pretty sure most Danes are super proud of our country after our PM's deft handling of the outbreak. Finest leader of my lifetime.
- drcongo 6y agoMost Brits.
- tialaramex 6y agoConfirmed. Also possible to be embarrassed of your individual component countries like England or Northern Ireland. For example here's a famous response to the idea of being proud to be Scottish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1tJJO_pVvQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1tJJO_pVvQ
- edoceo 6y agoUSA/Californian checking in. Embarrassed.
- omginternets 6y agoTook me a minute as well. He means Danes as in “Denmark”.
- vaccinator 6y agothanks, I thought it could have been an app to download music, like youtube-dl... (didn't mean to insult any Danes)
