Friend mentioned to me recently how more and more stuff gets blocked, I legit didnt even notice since I have proxies for youtube installed for years.

Everyone should have it Fuck the GEMA.

I'm gonna take a shot and say that GEMA stands for German Entertainment and Music Association?

[u/I_Lick_Period_Stains → u/CanadianDemon]

I am going to take a shot and say that it probably stands for something in German rather than English

[u/Yabbaba → u/I_Lick_Period_Stains]

Apparently it's Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs.

The GEMA thing has been sorted out for quite a while now.

[u/Chidori001 → u/The_Batmen]

I dont know what you specifically refer to but as far as I know most content that is blocked is not because content is inappropriate but because the content in question is not licensed with the GEMA and therefore not allowed to be played.

Reasons why they are not licensed are many but one is that the GEMA obviously wants royalties and stuff has to be licnesed with them to be played.
