[QUOTE="Schnuffi, post: 33447, member: 176426"] Further to my last post I just found this maybe it belongs in the news section. HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS MUST REWRITE PAY-TV CONTRACTS Hollywood studios will be asked within weeks to rewrite their contracts with European pay-TV operations or face stinging fines, according to European Commission insiders. Sources within the EC - the European Union's antitrust authority - said on January 13 that the studios would be sent a formal "statement of objections" shortly, outlining how the contracts break EU law. Sources said the EC's statement will say the studios have colluded to set prices and terms for movie rights distributed in the EU. The studios are alleged to have insisted on a "most favored nation" clause in the contracts that require pay TV companies to offer the same preferential treatment to all movie studios. The likelihood of EU action against the studios follows a lengthy antitrust probe into Hollywood's licensing deals with Europe's $45.5 billion pay-TV operations. [/QUOTE]
