Netflix refuses to pay the FPB's R795,000 licensing fee

Earlier in 2017, the FPB confirmed that Netflix had not given its content to the board for classification, nor had it paid the R795,000 “licensing fee” for online distribution.

FPB COO Sipho Risiba said the honeymoon will soon be over for distributors which do not comply.
