European Commission’s "Digital Single Market" Strategy Attempts To Break Down Online Barriers In The EU

In the European Union (EU), online barriers prohibit EU citizens
from receiving goods and services that are commonplace to U.S.
citizens. When I travel to Miami, for instance, I am able to
use my Netflix streaming subscription to catch up on my favorite
shows. The same cannot be said for a citizen from the UK who
travels to Spain; due to European copyright laws, Netflix is
required to negotiate rights for its shows on a country-by-country
basis.
On Wednesday, May 6, the European Commission (EC) unveiled its
strategy to break down these barriers by creating a European
"Digital Single Market" (DSM). To find out
more about the EC's proposal and what the measures mean for the
EU media industries, please see our
