The new rules would allow Europeans to temporarily view movies and videos they have bought on a digital service no matter where they are in the 28-member bloc. Copyright restrictions now limit access to the European country in which the content is bought.

Wow how generous.

Boils my pee that you purchase a film but are told its 'just a licence' to view, you can't copy it, back it up or convert it to use in other equipment etc.

And they wonder why piracy is so rife...
