​YouTube has removed an official song for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
due to “multiple third-party” complaints of copyright infringement.

The song, called “The Ice and Snow Dance”, had come under fire after
various reports and YouTube users said it sounded too similar to “Let it
Go”, a song featured in Disney’s 2013 hit film “Frozen”.
Instead of showing the video, a YouTube search for the Olympics song now
displays a notice <https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=112&v=48EojfCjQhk> stating
that the “YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated
due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement”.​

The logo for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games has been ditched
following an allegation that it infringed copyright belong to a Belgian
artist.

The emblem, created by designer Kenjiro Sano, has a black block in the
middle of a square shape with curved triangles in two corners. It also
features a red circle similar to that on the Japanese flag.

Belgian designer Olivier Debie claimed that the design was similar to a
logo that he designed for theatre company Théâtre de Liège
<http://theatredeliege.be/> in 2013.
