YouTube has recently taken action to block songs from major artists such as Adele, Bob Dylan, and Green Day as part of an ongoing licensing dispute with SESAC, one of the largest performing rights organizations in the United States. SESAC, which represents songwriters and publishers, is negotiating terms with YouTube, leading to the removal of certain content during the conflict.

This issue highlights the ongoing tension between streaming platforms and rights holders, as both parties seek to establish fair compensation for the use of music on digital platforms. Fans of the affected artists may temporarily find some of their favorite tracks unavailable on YouTube as the dispute continues.
