(22) While the Internet knows no borders, the online market for music services in the EU is still fragmented, and a single market has still not been fully achieved. The complexity and difficulty associated with the collective management of rights in Europe has, in a number of instances, exacerbated the fragmentation of the European digital market for online music services. This situation comes in stark contrast to the fast growing demand of consumers for access to digital content and associated innovative services, including across national borders. As a result, the potential of information technology remains untapped and consumers are deprived of a truly borderless digital single market for music. It is therefore important to move forward in order to ensure equal status for free movement of goods and services both physically and digitally.
