What's prohibited

  • Unjustified geographic restrictions within the EU Single Market for digital content

    The Geo-blocking Regulation (EU 2018/302) prohibits unjustified geographic restrictions for online sales and services within the EU. The Portability Regulation (EU 2017/1128) ensures cross-border portability of online content services. Geo-blocking of digital content licensing without justification may also raise competition law concerns under Articles 101-102 TFEU.

  • Terms that deprive authors/performers of fair remuneration for their works

    Article 18 of the EU Copyright Directive (2019/790) requires appropriate and proportionate remuneration for authors and performers. Article 22 provides a revocation right if works are not exploited. Terms that systematically deprive creators of fair compensation may be unenforceable.
