YouTube has struck a new agreement with German collection society GEMA, which will see a wide range of previously unlicensed music videos made available in Germany.

For the past seven years, YouTube and GEMA had failed to reach an agreement over video licensing in the region. However, the stand-off was brought to an end this morning, with YouTube revealing news of the new deal via a blog post on its official blog page.
