The European Union has agreed a plan obliging online retailers operating in the bloc to make electrical goods, concert tickets or car rental available to all EU consumers regardless of where they live. Putting an end to "geoblocking", whereby consumers in one EU country cannot buy a good or service sold online in another, has been a priority for the EU as it tries to create a digital single market with 24 legislative proposals. The agreement late on Monday between the European Parliament, the EU's 28 member states and the Commission will allow EU consumers to buy products and services online from any EU country. The agreement applies to e-commerce sites including Amazon and eBay.

Pub landlady Karen Murphy wins TV football court case with the English Premier League over using a Greek TV decoder to show games.
Karen Murphy has paid nearly £8,000 in fines and costs for using the cheaper decoder in her Portsmouth pub. But she took her case to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). It found partly in her favour, and now the High Court in London has also found in her favour.
Some businesses can't be happier about UK leaving EU.
I also wonder how services such as DAZN could react (it is sports streaming service available only in a handful of (richer) european countries)
UPDATE: NEVER MIND
The proposal does not extend to copyright-protected content, which includes music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple's iTunes, electronic books, television series and movies.
The Parliament had hoped to include these services, but music industries successfully argued this could lead to price increases in countries where such services are cheaper.
