Netflix, Disney+, Amazon appeal French investment rules

Wait 5 sec.

Streaming platforms Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon's Prime Video said Monday they have filed appeals with French authorities to challenge new rules requiring them to allocate 20 percent of audiovisual content investment to animation, documentaries and live performances. Starting in January of this year, the updated version of the decree requires that 20 percent of the required audiovisual sector investment be allocated to animated programming, documentaries and live performances, to bolster the diversity of genres.
