Unblocking GEMA on Youtube In Germany

What these Youtube videos have in common, is that they are all blocked in Germany. Not only are some of these videos uploaded by their original artists, they are from German artists. It has become a huge pet peeve of mine.

There are of course, many ways to unblock the GEMA through proxies. My favorite is a Firefox add-on called Proxtube. Which will fire up every time you click on a GEMA-blocked Youtube link. A favorite site is Hidemyass.com . Another is stealhy which works for the BBC iPlayer if you're outside the United Kingdom. While I have never used it, if SOPA passes in the United States, then it might be worth checking out.
