Threatened by potential EU regulatory changes, the movie, music, and sports industries are vehemently defending the practice of geo-blocking, as an essential part of their business models. Rightsholders argue that eliminating geo-blockades would devalue content, force price hikes for consumers in some countries, and ultimately reduce investment in content and localized services.

      And you’re what, a yank?

      Americans having views on a war, that they too have backed, fought on Europe being spouted without counterpoint is fine?

      The Russo-netsphere is close to clear of ideological opposition to a total unconditional Ukraine-EU-NATO surrender.

      Edit: you’re actually Ukrainian. I’m sorry for the way that NATO-Russia have no regard for your homeland and it’s people. It would be nice to have more Ukrainian views on it all more amplified. War is shit, and complicated. Whether to fight or not should be a Ukrainian decision, not NATO, EU, US, or Russia.
