This new Observatory report  focuses on territoriality and its effects 
on financing the production and distribution of films and TV programmes 
in Europe. Undoubtedly one of the hottest legal topics at the moment, 
territoriality of copyright is creating a major media buzz in Europe as 
the EU’s disputed Digital Single Market initiative aims at freeing up 
barriers to the consumption of content. In the same report, the 
Observatory examines the territoriality issues surrounding the revision 
of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. The current EU legal 
structure which allows international majors to set up where they wish, 
respecting the national legislation of the country of establishment due 
to the country of origin principle, while distributing content on a 
pan-European basis, is being challenged. Authored by Observatory Experts 
and Analysts, Maja Cappello, Francisco Cabrera-Blázquez, Sophie Valais 
and Christian Grece, this brand new report is clearly an essential “back 
to school” read.
