YouTube and SESAC Reach Deal: Removed Songs Set to Return to Platform

YouTube and YouTube Music lost a significant number of songs on Saturday due to not reaching a deal with SESAC. However, the two organizations have now reached an agreement, and the removed content is expected to return over the next day or two. A YouTube spokesperson expressed appreciation for everyone's patience during this time. SESAC represents songwriters' and publishers' copyrighted musical works and offers blanket license agreements for publicly performing the music in its catalog, which includes over 1.5 million songs from artists like Adele and Bob Dylan.
