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.

Fuck the entertainment world. As if they’re not rich as Croesus.
And if they want to whine that selection would go down and prices up? Fuck 'em. There’s more media than a human can reasonably intake, no matter one’s likes.
And if they hike the price? Well, I’m already stealing their shit due to pricing. Only thing I pay for is Spotify. Cheap enough, convenient enough, all that. Jack the price. Test me.
Got Amazon Prime for the shipping, but I still steal the shit they have on there. I want that data on my drives, not theirs.
It really needs to end. Studios and producers are really turning evil all the way. Opposing workers and forcing them to year long strikes, this, raising subscription prices.
Geo blocking has never been a real obstacle…
Never going to use Spotify. Prefer to own the physical media and have it digitalized as FLAC. iPod 5th gen with rockbox. Stick the finger to all Spotifys.
Geoblock all you want. The second I notice it impact me is the second I switch to piracy options.
I don’t know why the EU has been making all of these massive W laws recently, but its awesome. They’ve also shown they don’t give a fuck about what the companies think about it, then joining together to oppose the law probably only makes them want it more
