Pan-European services like Netflix should exist by now!
Make audiovisual collective licensing easy and fast. Help and promote companies that want to open throughout the European Union.

Current framework if hurting both consumers and content producers.

Clearing collection rights on a European level would make sense, both business as well as European Union wise - I vouch for that.

"Clearing collection rights on a European level would make sense" >> I 100% support that, as it will simplify the current schema and encourage both EU-based providers and external ones (aka Netflix) to take the challenge of running the service EU-wide.
