At least capeshit movies have exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution, a formula that has worked perfectly fine since Aeschylus.
Europeon movies are post modern garbage with no sense of structure.
>>70009570
Netflix and Amazon have the F R E E D O M to withdraw their digital broadcasting services from the EU market if they don't want to agree to this.
ITT: Americans mad euros don't want to just throw money at them

The EU is ludicrously undemocratic. Nobody would vote for this. But it's happening anyway.

Frankly, I want all EU content on Netflix gone. It's almost nothing but garbage. I didn't get this AMERICAN streaming service to watch my country's shit programming. If this goes way out of line I'll simply cancel Netflix.

>>70009570
For fucks sake, theres already too much of faggy BBC bullshit on Netflix.
>>70010146
That's not what I meant. Unless they're subbing to German or French you're shit out of luck because they probably got some unpaid interns to do the translations. It has nothing to do with the original content, just how little attention is being given to actually making said content understood by local audiences.
>>70009582
Because we, the white god fearing citizens of the EU, will not accept the destruction of our culture and society at the hands of foreign invaders who wish to push their way of life unto us.

>>70010847
Netflix is localized everywhere. Some European countries probably already have over 20% of it's content made in EU. So I don't see the reason why they wouldn't agree, European shows are probably lot cheaper to license etc. Only the viewers who want more American shows suffer.
EU is cancer. #Brexit
>>70010959
You're from northern Europe? Then you've already had these rules regarding local radio and television content for years.
Whether you agree or not, they're just trying to make sure Netflix and Amazon comply with the same rules as other distribution channels.
This doesn't mean they'll remove non-European content, just means they'll add some shit to comply with regulations.

They've gone full Canada.
Canada has laws requiring media content has to be a certain percentage Canadian. For example, at least one out of every 5 songs played on a given radio station has to be Canadian. They must have to listen to a lot of Nickelback and Bieber.
>>70011814
Not an argument.
If they want to be included in places like Netflix and Hulu, how about you MAKE SHOWS WORTH INCLUDING?
Fuck.
>>70009570
The biggest problem with quotas is they produce an environment where the goal is merely to meet the quota's bare minimum and get on with "real" business. What you really want to do is give them incentive to produce in Europe as much as possible.

ONCE AGAIN:
If you do not like how a publishing house, a movie or record studio produces what they put out, do not consume it.
These are not local productions. They are imported works, and no one in the gol'darned states o' merika would ever suggest that James Bond would be improved by being filmed in California and 007 sporting a Boston accent. That is how far down this is. It is below the tastes of the US.
Sure, let's raise subscription prices even more by forcing them to spend much more on production.
Not only is this wrong, it is dumb.
That's it.

You're right, the steelmakers are state-owned firms. America chooses to assist its steelmakers by creating tariffs; same effect, different method.
What you should be arguing is that Chinese steel is being dumped and fucking shit up, I think that that's a good justification for the American tariff. Doesn't change the fact that America imposes tariffs to further their own interests so it shouldn't be surprising when the EU does the same, even if in this case they're being retarded about it. I'm presuming you're the same guy as >>70012805 in all this.
