I'd rather EU forces stream providers to have one account valid for the whole of Europe. I'm French, lived 10 years in England and now in Spain, I want one iTunes account to give me access to the full EU library and not needing 3 seperate accounts. Same thing with Netflix and Digital TV. That would also help Europeans understand their neighbours better.

These region-restricted distribution contracts should not exist anymore in Europe. It's from the video tape era, it belongs in a landfill.

That was the plan as a part of the Digital Single Market (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/digital-single-ma...) but they settled on, essentially, roaming for digital services for now: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-4681_en.htm

I haven't used Netflix in a few years so I don't know if it works the same now, but the region restrictions were based on your IP address, not credit card info or anything. That meant you could easily turn on a VPN and easily access the worldwide Netflix library.

They would blacklist IPs from public VPNs like Private Internet Access, but you could easily just set up OpenVPN on a Linode to get around that.

It seems to me that this will make that problem significantly worse. If at least 30% of content in an EU country is local to that country then this local content cannot be available in every EU country. The percentages simply wouldn't add up.

I would bet that the majority of this local programming will only be available in the country where it is produced.

I was trying to remember my history lessons that I had growing up in France and for those interested, I find a nice link with lots of PDF for primary school : http://www.academie-en-ligne.fr/Ecole/Ressources.aspx?PREFIX...

"Have you finished developing the new feature yet ? Oh and here's my laptop, it needs reinstalling. Do you know why my WebMail is showing my folders in a different order than my Outlook ? You need to fix it."

Not up to date on Google Play developer terms but doesn't a customer requesting a refund makes the developer still liable for Google fees ? If so that's a very shitty thing to do to your friend.

don't you worry, bojo is on the case right now. The UK will have to accept more visas from India to get a trade deal. Replacing Europeans IT workers who were able to negotiate their salaries with low wage IT workers who can't change jobs at the risk of loosing their visas...

You're right for IT positions in Banking in London but for the rest of the country its a different story. Though I remember the big outage due to a botched upgrade of a batch processing software done by a junior developer in India http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/building-...

Well. I'm right for anything that isn't cheap. Indian are only competing on the low end of the market.

What about them?
