[AusNOG] Netflix cracking down on geolocation bypassing (VPN, etc)

[Nathan Brookfield]

She will eventually have to cave even if she is winning over Spotify.  She isn't Metallica and a point has been made already.

Sony need to make a bit of cash back after this hack.

Sony isn't so big that losing Netflix won't hurt them, they expected to
make $US41 million in FY2014 from Netflix licensing. I dunno about you,
