What if Netflix France has to license their content and platform from Netflix US, the the license costs are coincidentally exactly the same as the revenue made in France? Then there will be no profits in France.

Apply business purpose test to license cost calculations.

thats exactly the kind of accounting trick they are trick to get rid off.

The fact that it matches the revenue exactly shows that its not a real lisencing deal

Take the ratio of global revenue against national revenue and apply it to global expenses. Allow some leeway around any particularly unique national expenses and you've immediately put an end to the bullshit games these sociopaths play.

I strongly support immediately jailing anyone found to be playing these licensing games. They're parasites who have no place in society until they've shown reform.

In that case, they could always consider nationalizing Netflix France, and paying Netflix $0 in compensation. It is, after all, a completely profitless venture, losing it would be no big loss to Netflix.

Stupid games, stupid prizes, etc.
