Comment on Spotify starts 'disinvesting' in France in response to new music-streaming tax

Its not unusual for countries outside the biggest media producers (like the US for instance) to have rules in place to make sure there is continued local cultural output.

Ah similar to Canadian content policies in Canada. Got it.
