German Youtube sucks :(

Hi folks,

Straight to the point, why is it every decent music track I want to listen to on youtube is blocked by some Gema shit in Germany?

In the UK we rarely have this problem, sometimes the music of a vide is silenced but in Germany it seems to be a stinking pandemic!!! Even alot of the new music videos on OFFICIAL youtube channels are still blocked.

I know generally the music industry is trying to clamp down, but wow ze Germans are taking it to a whole new level :(


verdammt!!!!!

Buy music don't download it
When its uploaded by the producer of the music to youtube, I think they actually would like people to listen to it!

Except in Germany of course...

Godverdomme!

The music companies / producers do. That's why they put it on YouTube in the first place! But Gema wants every piece of music going through their cash-register before a German is allowed to listen to it. That's why they block YouTube music video's. I'm not sure if they simply use take-down notices, in other words asking YouTube to block the video to German IP's or use some other form of blocking.

What you can do is use a foreign proxy-server to get around it.

trolled hard
Our government wants us to listen to german artists only.
its kinda simple.

gema represents artists(rights) in germany. they want money from youtube each time a vid clicked. tho they are greedy as fuck, youtube just blocks the vids, because they arent willing to pay loads of of money for providing vids/songs.

in all countries u have organizations like the gema, just the german one is unable to make a deal with youtube.
trolololol music video already blocked too?
lol, no problems here :~>
