I clicked on the link to see what this was about. Here's what I got:
"Dieses Video ist in Deutschland leider nicht verfügbar, weil es möglicherweise Musik enthält, für die die erforderlichen Musikrechte von der GEMA nicht eingeräumt wurden."
- This video is not available in Germany because there is a possibility (!) of it containing music for which the GEMA [1] didn't give the neccessary rights.-
Sure looks like regionalism to me.
There is a new line between people who can now fire up some proxy service to access the content nevertheless or know how to find it somewhere else and people who don't know enough and thus can't get past the block or who live in a region with free availability.
