YouTube Inks Deal With SESAC to Restore Music Videos for Adele, Nirvana, Bob Dylan and More in U.S.
YouTube said it reached a deal with SESAC on new licensing terms to restore music videos for artists that went dark over the weekend.
SESAC and YouTube have agreed in principle to the new licensing terms but at press time the deal had not been officially signed. SESAC and other performing rights organizations collect royalties and help protect copyrights on behalf of songwriters and music publishers. They have the ability to block certain public performances of music, including on streaming services like YouTube, if licensing agreements have expired.
