Film industry floods EU Commission with pleas to continue geo-blocking
-
The industry hopes that the Commission maintains the status quo, where the audiovisual sector, including Video-on-Demand platforms (VOD) such as Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon Prime, offers different catalogues in different countries, based on licensing rights.
The geo-blocking regulation, in force since 2018, forbids unjustified barriers to cross-border access to products or services across the EU single market. The regulation is focused on e-commerce platforms.
However, copyright-protected content and the audiovisual sector are currently exempt from the rules. -

It would also gift the market to the American global streaming services, reducing plurality in the market.
