Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal and Sony Pictures join forces with StudioCanal, soccer's English Premier League and the MPA to oppose new legislation that would end geo-blocking of film and TV content across the European Union.
Valve Corporation, the monopoly of gaming was sued by EU for Geoblocking. Valve plan with 5 publishers was to raise prices and block games in other countries. Meaning Frence games would be Frence games and American games be American.
That’s what the entertainment industry wants to do with videos and CDs.
You are the one who is making up stuff. Valve in court doc clearly stated they had agreement to limitations of their product. EU said no because they will raise their prices. Valve now has to follow EU laws that protect EU from evil corporate greed.
If entertainment companies are against it, then it likely is a good and effective law in favor of the people.
