The tax Australia
"tax in Australia" is a term used in Australia to describe the premium they pay for a range of different products and services, both physical and non-physical relation to identical goods sold in other country. Companies like Foxtel are able to enjoy and support more users access to digital content such as Netflix due to lack of competition.
Speaking to ABC News 24, Kirkland said consumers are paying too much for digital content, he said "Our view is it is legal. People who have a US account Netflix pay for access to this content ".
However, some members of major studio entertainment, including Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Pictures who are represented by The Home Entertainment Australian Association Distributors (Aheda) want to block users or even ban the users who use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to access Netflix. These companies want to use VPN made illegal because they are losing money because of licensing costs and how rights are managed for TV shows and movies.
Foxtel fear that they will lose business if Australians access online streaming services and they campaigned for the government to defend its commercial interests. However, speaking to the Daily Mail, Choice chief executive Alan Kirkland sees this more of an act of "local intermediaries who want to cut the ticket on the popular content abroad rather than respond to the evolution of technology and provide content in affordable line. "
[panelNow, an Australian government appointed wants to use VPN (virtual private networks) legalized for around high premiums for services. A draft report of the review of competition policy said Australians should be able to use technology such as VPN to bypass the geo-restricted goods, and services like Netflix and iTunes.
At HMA! we believe that everyone has the right to access geo-restricted content they legally paid. Charging exorbitant prices for the same content just because you do not live in the right country, is wrong.
Use a VPN to access videos of all countries
A VPN is a perfectly legitimate way to access geo-restricted to watching television and movies. When you connect to our VPN Pro server, you are assigned a different IP address, which is handy if you want to access geo-restricted content. For example, if you live in the UK and want to watch a series of films or television being shown in the States, just connect to a VPN server US. A HMA! We have servers worldwide, including 319 servers in the United States making it easy for you to watch online content.
Price discrimination is not taking place in Australia. You can pay a higher or a lower price for goods and services depending on where you live in the world. For example, price discrimination is applied when buying airline tickets - "Use a VPN to save money on your airline tickets" check out my previous post
The final report will submitted to the Australian Government in March 2015, and HMA us! will closely monitor the results.
