”The Dutch Supreme Court has requested guidance from the EU’s top court on geo-blocking, VPNs, and copyright in a case involving the online publication of Anne Frank’s manuscripts. The CJEU’s response has the potential to reshape the online content distribution landscape, impacting streaming platforms and other services that rely on geo-blocking. VPNs services will monitor the matter with great interest too.”
