Apparently, the Danish musicians don't realize this value, thinking the platform is free to maintain if they can host videos for free there.

> Danish musicians

I don't think Danish musicians had any choice in this decision.

Correctamundo! This is an argument between a government sanctioned "artist association"(it's really record label manager association) and Google. No artist is part of this at all.

But Danish musicians are still free to host their own music on YouTube, this argument affects only the unlicensed use of music in third party videos.
