Due to disputes between GEMA (Germany’s music rights organization) and YouTube over royalties, many videos featuring copyrighted songs were inaccessible in Germany. This restriction meant that users could not view a significant portion of music-related content on the platform.
After an agreement was reached between the companies in November 2016, these videos became accessible again, lifting the long-standing restriction.
