The preservation of geo-blocking is central to the European film and media industry. The whole value chain, from manufacturing to exploitation, benefits from the principle of territoriality. If geo-blocking were lifted, this principle would become obsolete. Geo-blocking thus guarantees the functioning of the film industry.

Maintaining geo-blocking is synonymous with the preservation of the film and media industry in Europe. The whole value chain, from film production to exploitation, benefits from the territoriality principle, which would be lost if geo-blocking was lifted. Geo-blocking is almost life insurance for a functioning film industry.

Geo-blocking in the audiovisual sector protects important interests of the film and creative sectors. First, it allows for territorial licensing that ensures staggered financing of productions. Without geo-blocking, large streaming services such as Netflix or Disney+ could buy the rights at a lower price across the EU, putting smaller productions at risk.
