If the original piece has no copyright, then it becomes public domain, so I don't see how someone else performing it would infringe on copyright.

EDIT: BTW, earlier today Robbie William's 'Feel' was also blocked and stated reason was copyright claim by TEOSTO (that is how YouTube had it spelled, all capitals...). Now atleast this one works again.
Yup, like I said this is what baffles me the most. Teosto seemingly has licensed all sorts of music in Finland that has nothing to do with it as AFAIK Teosto only works with Finnish artists.

@Eichhörnchen: I can see that, but for example the two videos in AVGWarhawk's thread are both blocked.

EDIT: It appears the unblocking has started, still not everything but certainly some that were unwatchable are unblocked now.
