I've said this before, but the EU overstepped their intended mandate the very moment they decided that they were more than the ECSC.
It is beyond me how those numbnuts in Brussels keep thinking up more stupid and useless plans each time. Not only is it completely up to streaming services what they do and do not offer in terms of content, now you force those services to split up what they show per country, decentralising their services, since it's not possible to adhere to the 30% rule otherwise.
- rocqua 8y agoI like the GDPR, I like many other EU rules. In short, I am quite in favor of a big EU. But this is simply stupid. This is straight-up protectionism / weird national pride.

- AllegedAlec 8y agoYeah, stupid mistake. I meant Brussels.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoAntwerp would be very fitting though (a "twerp" is an ignorant fool).
- mrkstu 8y agoIts also going to completely kill narrowcast specialized channels- trying to sell an Anime channel? Sorry, no can do. I assume BBC is going to be unable to sell their channel in European countries as a streaming service if the local to country restriction is real. No Canadian specific channel. You HAVE to have a wide based supply and therefore you have to be a large international company, likely American, since they will be the only ones who can source the most desirable content. This is going to be a disaster that will have consequences directly in opposition to the publicly intended ones.
