I don't / never understood why certain areas around the globe won't / don't allow some videos seems strange to me.

I'm sure there's reasons for the restrictions though.

One case could be a matter of rights. The uploading entity may only have the right to share the music in certain areas. The world of copyright and distribution rights can be quite a mess.
 


The fact that @wizardfromoz can access the music connected to that link and I cannot,..... worth more than a second look.
A distance of 150km separates our homes. We are both, therefore, located in Australia.

I attempted to open the link with Firefox instead of Librewolf. No go. The two browsers are not synced, so there is no transfer of a wonky setting.

I also used Waterfox browser with default settings. No go.

pfft.

NSW can win State of Origin footy, against QLD, but we can't open a youtube link.?

it has to be a conspiracy, mutter, mutter....
 
Brian, this arvo I will nip into one of my stable of Distros that have Librewolf installed, and see how it goes from there.

If I learn anything, we can start a support thread on it. ;)
 
@wm460 you may find this of interest, if you do not already know it.

Bonnie Tyler had throat surgery in the UK spring of 1977.

Prior to that she had had success with "Lost in France".



Following the surgery, she was supposed to rest her vocal chords for 6 weeks, but one day screamed in frustration and it gave her the raspy sound to her voice.

"It's A Heartache" followed later in 1977, and the rest as they say, was history.


I remember the time, and remember thinking "Wow, is that the same lady?", having heard her former voice.

Takes me back.
 
@The Duck, what is the video supposed to be? I am getting youtube's main page

(using Firefox browser)
 
It works for me, but I am deleting it because it has sensitive political content.

AMEN to That ^^^^^^^^

Dionne certainly has it right.....even in 2026.....especially in 2026 !!
 
Starting a series of One-Hit Wonders I have liked or loved.

First up is In The Year 2525, released in 1968 but I first heard it in 1969 I think.

Thanks Wizard I did know about her operation but I must confess I have never really listened to her previous work.
I was always hoping she do an album with Meatloaf and Jim Stienman.

Probably has something to do with the DMCA
I would think so anyway

Yup. Oddly, YouTube has some weird actual behavior when it comes to music.

If you use too much copyrighted (as they think) music in your video, they take the video down and/or demonetize it. At the same time, there are people uploading entire discographies without YouTube doing anything about it.

Tags. I know some fly under the radar that way.

They also have weird things. For example, they'll demonetize a video that uses the word 'pedophile'. So, many of the channels just avoid doing so. Yet, there are things like true crime TV shows (shared on YouTube) that are monetized while using that word and many other of the 'no good' words.

That's why some of the more podcast-type channels will say 'PDF file'. (Which is redundant, by the way. It's just 'PDF'.)

Or use word like un-alive instead dead.
