my papy said son your going too drive me too drinking if you dont stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln!! Cmdr cody and his lost planet airman
Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
Yes, a lot of non-UK people (everyone I suspect) are now unable to view Beatles songs.
So, maybe the site moderator performing the blocking can explain the discrepancy between the displayed warning message and the actual action taken?

What discrepancy?

Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
Thanks for the quick response.
Sorry for the confusion.
The message says "...asked Chordie to block All access to Beatle tabs For users originating From the UK". The action taken appears to have blocked all users (my assumption), regardless of their oiginal.

The link that Russ has posted for Norwegian Wood is available to me in Portugal.

Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
OK, I guess that kills that theory. :-(
So, back to square one.
Why can't I, and a few others, acess Beatle songs?

I have a thought why don't you post the song you want here and someone who can access this song provide a link

Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
Thanks Russell. I can access you linked songs fine.
Just curious but, is anyone who is not a moderator able to access Beatle songs without aid of a moderator-poised link?
Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
OK, maybe this will provide a clue to someone.
I am able to access the Beatle songs just fine from my Surface Pro tablet using IE Explorer.
When access is from my iPad, my access is blocked.

I'm blocked to Beatles songs, even those you linked to, and I live in Illinois. I don't even have a British dialect

Hmmm... Maybe something has escaped from your private black hole and is wreaking havoc ON ME (play X-files theme here) :-)

I blame GW Bush for everything including influenza sort of the zeitgeist syndrome he is even despised in my galaxy in an alternate universe (play the theme for the twilight zone)

Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
as an FYI thing, i'm a UK captive and when i tried russ's link i got blocked too. i dont really care as i have all the beatles songs in book form, but i thought i'd look anyway.
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
Re: Copyright block ... but I'm not in the UK ???
OK, adding to the Strangeness...
I logged into Chordie this morning on my iPad, on which Beatles sones had been blocked, to find that they are now unblocked!
I don't suppose anyone made any changes to the site last night???
