Repeal UMG Copyright Claim on BTS Music


Repeal UMG Copyright Claim on BTS Music
The Issue
UMG has blocked videos on YouTube pertaining to BTS' song "Blood Sweat and Tears." This is due to a Japanese version of the song being released soon with Def Jam Records, a part of UMG. Unfortunately, that means that the filter for blocking has been placed on the Korean version of the song, which can be detrimental to BigHit Entertainment and BTS themselves; YouTube is considered a major source of their success and blocking videos with their song (the Korean version) on them, which UMG doesn't even have rights to, is uncalled for. This is not new; various other Korean Pop songs have been copyrighted in the past in the same manner. Please repeal this copyright claim.
