Talk:SESAC

Location of Article

I think the article should be under SESAC and not Society of European Authors & Composers as it no longer means that It's only there for historical explanation. Many acronyms have lost their meanings and we don't call them by that and I don't think SESAC should be an exception. --Shimonnyman 09:24, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep editing!

I recently edited this page and got this in my email inbox {edits and comments in curly braces like these}:

Hi Toby!

Don't know who you are but would appreciate it if you would quit editing
the SESAC / Wikipedia profile.  Your information is incorrect and
editing that page is not really the responsibility of anyone outside of
a SESAC employee.



Thanks!

CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:  {bogus, and cut}

I don't know

• if this is a rogue SESAC employee,
• if SESAC is really trying to intimidate people,
• if the people at SESAC just don't understand how Wikipedia works, or
• if this is email is a fake from somebody trying to make SESAC (or this individual) look bad.

But in any case, I know that it's complete garbage.

Note to other editors: If you get a message like this, you should feel absolutely free to ignore it!

Update: I've had a short email conversation with this person, with my email sent to the return address, so it seems to be real. Thus, I removed the last possibility and cut the identifying/tracing information from the email as posted here. —Toby Bartels 00:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Five years later ... Shawneebelle is back and sent me another email, which was handy, because it alerted me to the trouble. I blocked the account on the grounds of the 3-revert rule. I would be very happy for an administrator more experienced in such matters to review this block. —Toby Bartels (talk) 17:55, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Recent YT music block

Should we do an update for the recent block of music on YouTube? LootLlama7708 (talk) 22:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

yeah, and should i add links on the bands on the list that were removed? HolyRamenEmpire (talk) 23:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

And on a similar note, should other bands be added that have not been already? A smaller band I know called Bombadil is facing the same issue currently, but for obvious reasons news sources haven't really covered it. Andrew57961 (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I believe so. HolyRamenEmpire (talk) 13:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I've noticed the bands Wolf Alice and Lord Huron appear to be affected by it as well, unsure if they should be added though, I don't have a source actually talking about them, but as of right now it's pretty easy to check. Erated8 (talk) 02:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

People are editing based on it. An anon added "a corrupt" to the first sentence of the article presumably over this; we may get more vandalism like this Saxy42 (talk) 06:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

An act of vandalism has been locked into the YouTube block section, saying that Mariah Carey music being blocked is a good thing.

Was going to edit to remove, but it's locked in. 74.124.187.112 (talk) 19:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

At this point, I feel as though this blip in availability isn't significant enough to warrant a section of this article. 3 days of unavailability before being returned is pretty insubstantial, and especially because this is a pretty short article to begin with, it feels out of place. 12.171.30.237 (talk) 03:13, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Duplicate artist in list

Is there a reason why Alice in Chains is listed twice in the list of affected artists? 147.161.251.111 (talk) 10:59, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Missing

Kat dahlia is also blocked 107.193.174.115 (talk) 23:57, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Dan Deacon is another blocked artist as well 12.171.30.237 (talk) 05:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Source With List of Artists Affected

I found this article with a list of artists that have been affected by the removal of songs from Youtube. It isn't a full list as it doesn't contain artists like At the Drive-In or Muse who had videos removed as well. Hope this is a good enough article for the list on here.
