News is runoff from Down Under - NZ to be precise, not Australia -. the copyright industry threatens to sue Internet service providers that offer GeoBlock bypass, a typical characteristic of VPN that ISPs had offered directly
There is no shortage of need sensitive to release such technology. There are many stories about how to pay - repetition pay - customers are still bypass various blocks for what they actually pay. For example, Netflix's customers in Australia are often Tunneling United States to use Netflix it instead.
The concept of geoblocking is completely absurd in the first place, of course. Yes, you can segment a market by natural boundaries to better manage your business. But these boundary lines are supposed to be internal for your business, and not imposed on the rest of society . You have no right to encroach on other people's property to apply in the arbitrary division. When you do it anyway, and try to get this right legislated , it shows your company is irrevocably broken from the ground, and you try to assert a level of control that has never was yours to assert first.
in Europe, policymakers are starting to come down like a brick truck on the absurdity of geoblocking. Politicians in the administration of Europe are more dissatisfied with the fact that something can be blocked from a single Member State of the single market, and exceptionally, the European Parliament (through its rapporteur on the subject, Julia Reda - the Pirate Party, by the way) and the European Commission are in complete agreement that the copyright industry is coming off its high horse this minute themed geoblocking
in Europe, it actually seems. geoblocking be legislative prohibited in a short time policy, which is a technology generation or two.
the point is, of course, that it does not work in the first place. The Internet was not built with national borders in mind, therefore, an approximation is all you get. Approximations may be fine for many measurement applications, but never implementation something.
And at the end of the day, it is trivially circumvented anyway. Case in point, I listened to Pandora in Stockholm, Sweden for several years, despite the idea that it "should not be possible." Except it is quite. In countless ways .
