Geo-blocking, which basically refers to the practice of preventing customers from accessing websites or content of the website, has become widespread in the European Union. More particularly, the most affected sector by it is the audiovisual sector. Against this background, EU consumers have not been sitting idly by. They have expressed their dissatisfaction with geoblocking by contending that it erects virtual barriers where there should be none. Others have eased their frustrations by falling back on VPNs to circumvent these obstacles. By contrast, the stakeholders of the audiovisual industry - especially European players in the audiovisual market - have intensively lobbied against a geo-blocking ban. Their main argument is that artificially partitioning the Internet landscape through geo-blocking is indispensable to preserve the principle of copyright territoriality upon which their current business model is founded. Elimination of geo-blocking would adversely affect content production and subsequently decrease consumer's welfare. Hence, the redline of this Master's thesis is this war of words on the geo-blocking issue. Put it differently, it investigates how cross-border access to online audiovisual content services could be secured without harming the incentives of the audiovisual industry to produce and distribute content. To answer this question, this research has been conducted as following. Firstly, it outlined the inadequacy of the legal framework prior to the adoption of the 2015 Digital Single Market Strategy to deal with the issue. Indeed, the legal framework does little to nothing to address geo-blocking per se and/or to tackle the underlying reasons for the use of it. Secondly, it observed that the Geo-blocking Regulation which entered into force in 2018 does not alter the status quo since audiovisual services are expressly left outside the scope of it. Lastly, out of the presumption that the traditional copyright-territorialitybased business model of the audiovisual industry will inevitably have to adapt to the new paradigm in the way audiovisual content is consumed and distributed, this Master's thesis answers the research question by advocating for a threefold approach towards the geo-blocking issue. In other words, this contribution defends that an elimination of geo-blocking in the EU (and thus allowing cross-border access to online audiovisual content services) without harming the incentives of the audiovisual industry to produce and distribute content will only be feasible if the European Union adopts an incremental, cross-sectoral and proactive approach.

This study provides the European Commission (Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, DG CONNECT) with an estimation of the impacts of the extension of the scope of the Geo-blocking Regulation to audiovisual and non-audiovisual services giving access to copyright protected content. This study has been prepared in the context of the activities carried out by the Commission for the review of the Geo-blocking Regulation pursuant to its Article 9, which specifically includes for the first review, an assessment of the scope of the Regulation regarding, in particular, partial exclusion of non-audiovisual electronically supplied services from Article 4, as well as audiovisual services fully excluded from its scope. This study is based on several data collection tools: desk research, literature review, stakeholder interviews, a consumer survey, a mystery shopping exercise and data analysis and provides integrated conclusions for each of the sectors under scope (audiovisual, music, e-books and software and games).

On 27 February 2018, the European Union adopted the EU Geo-Blocking regulation, which has applied since 3 December 20181. This Regulation prohibits unjustified geo-blocking, and other forms of discrimination, based on customers’ nationality, place of residence, or place of establishment and is particularly relevant to all businesses selling online in different EU Member States, whether or not they are located in the EU. Furthermore, the proposal bans the blocking of access to websites and the use of automatic re-routing if the customer has not given prior consent. One of the most significant exceptions to the Regulation, however, concerns audio-visual services and other electronically supplied copyright-protected content. As regards audio-visual services, these are fully excluded from the scope of the Geo-Blocking Regulation, mirroring the exclusions from the scope of the Services Directive. Electronically supplied services linked to (non-audio-visual) copyrighted content and neighbouring rights are also excluded from the main Regulation's absolute prohibition of applying different general conditions of access laid down in Article 4 (e.g., music streaming and downloading, e-books, games). In this regard, however, the Regulation mandates a first short-term review which should assess, by March 2020, in particular, the scope of the Regulation, both as regards the specific scope of Article 4 and more generally as regards sectors not covered by the Services Directive, including audio-visual services. In the context of activities related to the first short-term review, this Eurobarometer survey was launched to measure consumers’ demand and assess the difficulties they face when trying to access online content services meant for other EU countries.

This is an open access book. Media industry research and EU policymaking are predominantly tailored to large (and, in the latter case, Western) European markets. This open access book addresses the specific qualities of smaller media markets, highlighting their vulnerability to global digital competition and outlining survival strategies for them. New online distribution models and new trends in the consumption of audiovisual content are limited by, and pose new challenges for, existing audiovisual business models and their legal framework in the EU. The European Commission’s Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy, which was intended e.g. to remove obstacles to the cross-border distribution of audiovisual content, has triggered a heated debate on the transformation of the existing ecosystem for European screen industries. While most current discussions focus on the United States, Western Europe, and the multinational giants, this book approaches these industry trends and policy questions from the perspective of relatively small and peripheral (in terms of their population, language, cross-border cultural flows, and financial and/or symbolic capital) media markets.
