YouTube Inks Deal to Restore Songs From Adele, Bob Dylan After Licensing Dispute
YouTube's previous deal with SESAC, a performance rights organization that represents over 15,000 artists, was valid until Oct. 1. However, the Google-owned platform "unilaterally removed" many tracks before that date while negotiations for a new deal were still ongoing, Scott Jungmichel, SESAC president and COO, confirmed in a statement.
