See post 2712 and brief discussion afterwards

I can't believe that only myself and MadMax seem outraged at blatant EU interference in Britain's entertainment sources.

Problem isn't solved


See my previous post in the thread, Netflix to raise prices, or reduce their current content.

The difference is between Netflix choosing to ad 20% of EU content and being forced to add it.

Netflix have got detailed analysis of what UK viewers like. If they're forced to use some of their acquisitions budget to provide 20% EU content, then there is less money to spend on the content UK viewers like. To provide the same amount of UK desired content plus 20% EU content, Netflix would have to raise their prices.
