There is more than music videos on YouTube.

I hope this will give a boost to free music.

That is true. But if a company like Google takes a stand against those ridiculous court orders, we get one step closer to freeing the internet from the oppression of the copyright industry.

Well they do take a stand in that they will censor the respective videos. The alternative would have been to pay up. Although I think the prices GEMA asks for are ridiculous and infeasible.
