GEMA pissed people off greatly, but the problem wasn't that GEMA is inherently corrupt and harmful (which it is, because it's structured around the needs of large labels in a way that hurts small independent artists). The problem there was that GEMA demanded more money than YouTube was willing/able to pay, there was no clear right or wrong side to it.

Ah yes GEMA, where it looks like the employees of let's say, "security" organizations went for retirement
