Hundreds of music videos from some of the biggest names in music have been pulled off YouTube over a licensing dispute. YouTube says it's part of a legal battle with SESAC, a European licensing organization. The list includes iconic songs like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Adele's "Rolling In The Deep", as well as tracks by Bob Dylan, Green Day, Britney Spears, Kendrick Lamar, and more. Clicking on the video will bring up a message that reads "This video contains content from SESAC. It is not available in your country." YouTube says it's in talks with SESAC to reach a deal.
