Right now I’m currently using Apple TV to buy video content. But I would like to switch to an european alternative that does not have any drm.

    For a time France was considering a “Cultural tax” to fight against torrenting etc

    Most European countries have a “private copying levy”, which is basically a tax on storage mediums (HDDs, SSDs, etc, including those inside computers and phones). So as far as I’m concerned I’m already paying for my torrented content.

      True, this one is named “taxe sur la copie privée” in France.

      But they wanted to do something else, a kind of super powerful public Netflix paid by taxes.
