Summary:	"Country-code top-level domain names like ".de" or ".se", provide a somewhat natural geographical delineation of the Internet. But the answer, in technological terms, is 'no'. Yet, the traditional practice of national exploitation of content by its rightholders has continued through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This delineation, it seems, is at odds with the technological possibilities of the Internet and even more so with the digital pendant to the internal market, the Digital Single Market, whose completion is the main harmonisation goal of the European Commission in the digital sphere. So will we in ten or fifteen years from now still see this territorial delineation of content on the Internet? My bet is that the answer is again likely to be 'no'. What then stands between us, in a digital content world consisting of 28 national markets and 24 official languages, and this vision of a common European market for online content for the more than 500 million citizens?"--
