Germany blocks YouTube meteor videos due to music copyright dispute
http://j.mp/Zs9nuB (ars technica)
"As a result of an ongoing dispute between Google (YouTube's parent
company) and GEMA, the primary German performance rights organization,
a number of Russian YouTube videos have been blocked from within
Germany. The reason? These videos contain background music playing
from a Russian car radio. This is just the latest example of a
ridiculous situation that has developed in Germany.
