YouTube is bringing back the Adele, Green Day, and Other Artists Song on YouTube days after it was removed in the US due to a legal dispute with SESAC. YouTube claims to have reached an agreement with the for-profit performance-rights organization Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC), which collects and distributes royalties to songwriters, composers, and music publishers.
YouTube and SESAC dispute
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), YouTube announced bringing back the Adele, Green Day, and Other Artists Song on YouTube in the next two or three days as it has reached a deal with SESAC.
Team YouTube stated “If you’re in the United States we’re happy to share that YouTube has reached a deal with SESAC. Content (that was previously blocked) will be restored across YouTube services over the next day or two. We appreciate all your patience.”
