YouTube has announced that it has reached a deal with SESAC, resulting in the return of affected songs to the platform. Following a statement from a spokesperson expressing gratitude for the reconsideration of the offer, it was shared that content will be reinstated shortly. The original story detailed how popular songs from artists like Adele and Green Day were blocked on YouTube due to licensing negotiations with SESAC. As the deal approached its expiration date, videos featuring music from artists like Bob Dylan and Burna Boy were no longer accessible in the US. Despite efforts to renew the agreement, a new deal had not been reached before the expiration, resulting in the removal of content represented by SESAC. Discussions are ongoing to reach a new agreement, with the deal reportedly set to expire next week. SESAC has not yet released a statement regarding the situation.
