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.
