Why blocking VPNs from Netflix?

Last week on Netflix announced that will block all VPN and proxy connections. The decision is a response to the increased demands of the Hollywood industry. But do they all understand what that means? netflix

With the launch of legitimate movie streaming services and TV episodes like Netflix, the friends of the species have less reason to turn to pirate sites.

At the same time, however, these legitimate agencies have new issues related to intellectual property rights.

Traditionally, the film industry has invoked geographic licensing agreements whereby the rights of films and TV broadcasts are sold in separate countries in different countries.

Ten years ago, the obsolete model was not a problem. But now that the Internet has been good for the entertainment industry, the public has begun to complain.

Why do Netflix users in Andorra, Bolivia and Cook Islands have access to Better Call Saul, while Americans do not? Similarly, why can they see the American Sniper from Denmark while it is not available in the rest of the world?

Most Netflix users do not understand.

The fact leads people to circumvent geographical constraints, using VPNs and proxy services. With the help of tools such as "unofficial Netflix online Global Search"Every Netflix subscriber can easily discover these hidden treasures.

There are even specialized applications that do the same, enabling on all Netflix titles with built-in proxies.

Netflix's announcement to suppress VPN and proxy connections is not accidental. It comes just a week after the announcement of the company announcing its extension to more than 130 countries.

This is obviously not accidental. Let's see why:

Netflix is ​​always under a contractual obligation to take measures against geo-bypassing attempts limitations, and with its extension s around the world should do it.

But there is no point, Neflix does not really need it. Equally, circumventing geographical constraints means more subscriptions to the company.

Instead, the targeting of VPN and proxy solutions has been high on Hollywood's agenda for several years. Hollywood has reasons to chase these links as it loses its rights to geographical constraints.

The question, however, is whether this repressive approach is effective.

In fact, the announced measures will cause some people to abandon their subscriptions and return to their old habits (piracy), which both Netflix and cinemas should be concerned about studio.

The film industry and the music industry should finally leave complex licensing. This is a change that Netflix supports based on recent statements.

Σύμφωνα με το Netflix οι "πειρατές VPN" είναι πρόθυμοι να πληρώσουν, γιατί δεν μπορούν να πάρουν αυτό που θέλουν μέσω των τοπικών τους Netflix.

Speaking of controversial VPN use, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said the problem can be solved if industry starts offering the same content globally without artificial barriers.

"Η βασική λύση είναι για υπάρχει το Netflix παγκόσμια και το περιεχόμενό της να είναι το ίδιο σε όλο τον κόσμο, έτσι δεν υπάρχει κανένα κίνητρο [χρήσης VPN]. Στη συνέχεια, μπορούμε να εργαστούμε για το πιο σημαντικό μέρος που είναι η πειρατεία," δήλωσε ο Hastings και μεταδίδει το TorrentFreak.

At the moment, Netflix can do nothing but comply with Hollywood's pressure, but as soon as it opens up a VPN blockade it will cause problems.
Many people use VPN services to protect their privacy, not to cheat on Netflix, and when they are locked them, it is certain that there will be reactions.

Ταυτόχρονα, υπάρχει ένα νέο παιχνίδι της γάτας με το ποντίκι όπου το "ξεμπλοκάρισμα" των υπηρεσιών θα γίνει πρόκληση.
It's hard to find a winner in this game, except perhaps from the Hollywood industries.
