An excellent, easy-to-implement initiative to break down these monopolies and boost competition in different regions. If only other countries/industries were doing this. In the absence of any top-down change, it is up to us to make this switch. |

Not entirely the same thing but, here In France, since the late 80s or so, we have the "exception culturelle" (cultural exception) which is one of those laws US would love to eradicate from my dear country as it opposes treating cultural products as other commercial products. It also comes with its "Loi sur l'audiovisuel" (audiovisual law) making it mandatory by law to broadcast approx 30-40% of French content, there is also some office that get to tax every movie ticket sold in France and, supposedly at least, use that money to finance local French cinema production. The exception culturelle is one of the reasons France has managed to not get completely submerged by US production. |
