Today SKAM was blocked outside Norway. Both Prime Minister Erna Solberg and the Director-general of the NRK answered questions from foreign fans.

Kjære @erna_solberg,
Hvorfor har #Skam blitt gjort utilgjengelig for internasjonale seere på NRK sine nettsider? Dette er helt absurd.

Dear Erna Solberg, why is SKAM made unavailable for international viewers on NRK’s website? It is absurd. Regards,
Óskar Steinn

@erna_solberg @oskasteinn dessverre er det p g a musikkrettighetene
— Thor G. Eriksen (@TGEriksenNRK) January 13, 2017
Unfortunately it is due to music rights.
Thor Gjermund Eriksen
@oskasteinn @erna_solberg skulle gjerne unngått dette, p g a musikken i serien så har rettighetshaverne bedt om det.

Would like to avoid this, because of the music used in the series, the rights owners has asked us to.
Thor Gjermund Eriksen
Within today’s music rights regime, the musical side of SKAM would either be really bland, or prohibitively expensive, if we were to aquire international rights.
