The 30% quota is ridiculous. What this will lead to is either providers shutting down the service for that country or just buy the cheapest, most available content they can get from some indie movie publishers and pushing it in one carousel on their site. This will not lead to bigger local productions or a bigger support for local film makers...
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoWell I for one am looking forward to hearing of the production of the 200 episodes of "Norwegian log pile drying" and such (eg https://www.netflix.com/title/80119345 https://www.netflix.com/title/80119345 ?). Presumably that's what will happen -- unless they mandate hours viewed and then we in the UK will have to watch an hour of "puddle drying in Stratham" before we can watch a foreign movie. Of course the metric could be "catalogue hours", in which case one 500 hour showing of "Silence, a tribute to John Cage" might satisfy the requirement. TL;DR how will they define the quota, what constitutes a TV programme.
