This is exactly the same problem as the taxi medallions, there used to be a good reason for it, but now it blocks technological advances:
Technically, today one company can serve anybody in the world. This used not to be true and content creators had to deal with local distributors (cinemas, TV cable companies, etc...), and those local distributors were happy to pay a premium to get local monopoly.
Now newer better companies with better (awsome) models cannot serve content because of those old monopolies. Local distributors have no incentive to improve their service, and sure don't. Companies are going to need to ignore those "legal monopolies", and somehow operate illegally, in order to disturb the market and force everybody to move forward.
