Netflix had to crack down on VPN usage recently as people use them to bypass geographic content restrictions. Any suggestions on alternative options they could pursue? (Aside from somehow getting global broadcasting rights on their whole library)
They block VPN's and other tools because their contracts with content providers say so.
It even says it right in their terms of use
4.3. You may view the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content.
Don't get me wrong, requiring someone to disable a VPN to use the service is bullocks. But some services don't have much of an option. From what I understand Netflix is aggressively trying to obtain world-wide rights for their whole library, but until the old dog content producers get on board they'll have a rough time.
Correct me if I am wrong.
