EU extends TV law to the internet


The European Council has passed a law which extends the laws governing television broadcasters to companies providing video content online regardless of how it is transmitted.

The Audiovisual Media Services Without Frontiers Directive broadens broadcast rules introduced in 1997 to encompass content on the internet, mobile phones and other devices, video on demand, and peer-to-peer networks. But it does not cover non-commercial content.
