Have any other UK YouTube users been affected by the music ban?
I've seen most of the music on my playlists blocked. I haven't attempted using a non-UK proxy server yet.

I wonder if it's affecting citizens of Ireland since many use the same web nodes to connect as UKers do.

2. YouTube and the PRS disagree about royalty payments
so any music that would be subject to a performance royalty is blocked; see eg http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2009/03/10/youtube-and-the-beat-no-longer-goes-on-in-the-uk/

4. Nope
I posted the issue when it first arose. It made specific reference to Premium music videos whatever that's supposed to mean. Can you give me an example please. At the time I just fiddled about with videos which I thought might be "Premium" and they all worked just fine.

None of what I would normally watch would be classed as premium anyway. This for example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLilUvt2BSs

5. I was getting a lot of red banners
saying 'this video is not available in your country' regarding some pop music of the last 30 years. Although saying that a lot of the videos are available again today :shrug:

6. Just noticed your post
That was already happening prior to this event. Had been so since they reconfigured to identify country of user - don't know the background to it and I concluded it was a plain and simple cock up.
