Opinion by Juliette Prissard in ELECTRON LIBRE, general delegate of Eurocinéma, contributor of UIDFRIGHTS work, warns Europe: banning territorial exclusivity in the cinematographic and audiovisual sectors would be a fatal blow to the way films are financed. This, she explains, will penalize the final consumer.
The audiovisual and cinematographic sector is going through a bitter experience. At issue is the revision of the European regulation on « unjustified geographical blocking » adopted during the previous legislature, which prohibits geographical discrimination of customers purchasing goods or services in the European Union, including when this discrimination is linked to means of payment or is carried out by price differentiation. However, this text does not apply to audiovisual services or to online content protected by copyright, thus respecting the principle of territoriality linked to the financing of their creations.
