In May earlier this year, Hulu, film service and television in popular streaming blocked a number of VPN users to be able to access to its network.
the question on the lips of thousands of Netflix customers in Australia at present is whether they will be blocked from accessing the American version of the streaming service. Currently, Netflix is not available in Australia as Australians would pay for a Netflix subscription and use a VPN to bypass geographic restrictions in place. This means they can "virtually" live in America, and watching Netflix Americans.
However, according to TorrentFreak some members of major studio entertainment, including Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Pictures who are represented by The Home Association Distributors Entertainment Australian (Aheda) want Netflix to block users or even ban the users who use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to access the service.
Why is this happening? Well, it basically boils down to the cost of licensing and how rights are managed for TV shows and movies. For example, the studios that own the rights in America are losing money when users access content outside of the States, and they are not happy. Not one bit.
VPNs Banning is wrong!
Of course, it is impossible to ban all VPN access as Hulu discovered, but it is also wrong.
For example, an American who travels to Australia, would not be able to access their Netflix account even if they have paid for it. This does not seem quite fair, now does it? And if Netflix does bow down to pressure and blocks VPN users, they would also block Netflix users in states that use VPN to protect their personal and confidential information. One or two Internet service providers in the United States were found in bandwidth speeds and download accelerator on many video streaming sites such as Netflix, many Americans use a VPN to get around this so that they can stream TV shows and movies without any problems speeds.
A VPN is not all about access to geo-restricted content, it secures devices using Wi-Fi and protects your data from prying eyes and also allows you to surf the web anonymously. Privacy tools should be encouraged, not discouraged
Netflix users have paid for the service !; it should not matter if they are in the US, UK or Australia, they are legitimately pay for it, not illegally download material from a torrent site. TV and movie studios would be wise to remember that!
