Protoss: End of the nazi regime. Never afterwards had we such a big threat for culture in Germany as we have now.

Foxhack: The way you said it made it sound like removing the Nazis from power was a bad thing.
At least they built good roads.

That surely was not intended.
My impression of your post is just that it sounds a bit like the end of the world is coming ;-) But maybe just my opinion.
I also think that they will find a solution, after all this is (just like so often) only because of money. So youtube and GEMA will go through all courts and in the end there will be a compromise were youtube pays some money and GEMA is happy and we can continue watching videos^^ (although I personally would not even want to watch the videos from this 7 people all this mess is about)

If not, this would be the end of Youtube. They must look at all videos now to see if rights of some capitalists are infringed that can't get enough money from music other people created (=GEMA).

And Youtube must use a word filter. Yea. Have fun with the false positives!

Really, block Youtube in Germany! Tell people that Youtube is blocked because of the GEMA. Let people run rampant against the worst culture killers since 1945!
So you want even MORE censorship in a country that's already pretty heavy with the censorhip as far EU countries go? Otay....

I want that censorship so Youtube does not have to cease to exist.

So is GEMA the Deutsche version of DMCA, then? That's what I gather from your description of it...

And they were cross-country trains! You couldn't do that today. That said, being herded into container cars isn't exactly quality rail. But then it was wartime.
...Are you seriously considering the defeat of Hitler's forces and the end of a huge World War to be the day culture died?

Wut.

No, I consider that what happened before to be the time culture was dead in Germany. And the GEMA played a big role in it.
Die Reichsmusikkammer unter ihrem Präsidenten Richard Strauss hatte 1934 in ihren Richtlinien festgelegt, dass „Nichtarier grundsätzlich nicht als geeignete Träger und Verwalter deutschen Kulturguts anzusehen“ seien. Dies bedeutete das Berufsverbot für die damals etwa 8000 in der Reichsmusikkammer organisierten Juden.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEMA#Jahre_1933_bis_2000

Which seems to be not known outside of Germany, or you are all just racists that want German culture to die again.
*facepalm* *sigh* Of you want to have Youtube blocked in Germany don't watch youtube and don't go on it! It's easy as pie! Edit: Who cares about a country's internet usage? It

OP wants(I think) youtube to block itself from Germany to force GEMA to back down or some such.

Yes but I Believe internet usage and most sites to use should be left to the people. Not the Government or Corporations.
