Right now I’m currently using Apple TV to buy video content. But I would like to switch to an european alternative that does not have any drm.

    It’s only half a joke. Until Europe creates something unified it remains true.

    For a time France was considering a “Cultural tax” to fight against torrenting etc. The idea was to pay a fixed fee like 10 or 15€ a month that gave you access to everything in legal streaming. It would have been perfect and people would have pay for it instead of illegally downloading.

    Then Netflix came and took that market, then all others mega corporations wanted their share of the money and streaming went to shit and sent us back to the initial issue.

    The problem today is that even if we had such a general platform, plenty of right owners would refuse it to favor their own network platform.

    Finding such a platform that allows you to download bought movies without DRM is gonna be hard.

    I am not 100% sure but I think pathehome.com does have DRM (and I dont even know if they allow the bought movies to be downloaded or not). But as a Netflix/Amazon Prime Video replacement it would work.

    MUBI also has DRM.
