YouTube Music Loses Songs
If you use YouTube Music in the US, you might have noticed some songs are missing. This is because YouTube has a problem with a company called SESAC. SESAC is a group that helps songwriters and publishers get paid when their music is played.
YouTube and SESAC couldn’t agree on a new deal, so YouTube had to remove songs from its music service. YouTube is still talking to SESAC and hopes to fix the problem soon.
