YouTube has blocked large amounts of music in Finland, after it was unable to reach a new licensing agreement with music rights organisation Teosto.<\/p>\n
Teosto represents the rights of 31,000 local artists and 3 million international artists in Finland.<\/p>\n
Negotiations between Google and\u00a0Teosto have dragged on, according to the parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the background to this happening are prolonged agreement negotiations between Teosto and Google,\u201d said Teosto.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though an accord has been reached on temporarily continuing with the current agreement early in the morning of November 30, Google still went through with the withdrawal. According to a notification from Google, they will start returning content to YouTube on Thursday 30 November.\u201d<\/p>\n
Google then posted an update to its\u00a0support page<\/a><\/strong>, saying that the content has been reinstated.<\/p>\n YouTube has blocked large amounts of music in Finland, after it was unable to reach a new licensing agreement with music rights organisation Teosto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":92509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[25463,1592,1713],"class_list":["post-122463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-finland","tag-music","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/226"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":122465,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122463\/revisions\/122465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read:\u00a0YouTube Go launching in South Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
