The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the best known literary works in history.

It was written by a young girl hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II .

In 1963 , Otto Frank established the Anne Frank Fonds ’ in Switzerland and appointed it as his sole heir.

This organization now owns the copyrights, over which it works hard to maintain control.

As a result, the copies published by the Dutch Anne Frank Stichting , are blocked for Dutch visitors.

Anne Frank copyright case could have far-reaching consequences for many other sites and services that publish geographically-restricted content.

If state-of-the-art geo-blocking is not sufficient to alleviate copyright concerns, rightsholders can in theory go after publishers and platforms that use this technology.

That applies to many large streaming services, and would make geographical licenses impossible to enforce.
