| Topic | is it morally wrong to use a vpn to bypass geoblocking? |
| Tyranthraxus 05/28/18 4:27:07 AM #32: | Slip-N-Slide posted... Netflix and such is kind of a grey area. If a production company/distributor/whatever listened it with Netflix for [specific countries] bypassing it to access it is kind of sketchy imo, especially since Netflix has no additional revenue stream like ads to sort of balance it out like if you use a VPN for a YouTube video it can still play you an ad, unless you have an ad blocker, which is another discussion. These agreements are typically bound by legal licensing issues between different publishers and who owns the rights to what parts. The nature of the legal agreement could make it a moral issue but more often than not it's something stupid like some copyright troll bought the rights to a song on the soundtrack and won't let you release the movie unless you edit it the song or pay him out the ass. This is also why Netflix doesn't really give a shit if you vpn around then. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
