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

Mon Jan 5 10:21:01 EST 2015

These sort of conversation always make me wonder about the “3rd line enforcing, we don’t allow it for Australia businesses”, why is it we allow it from companies that have parents companies overseas.

Seems like Australia always seems to get the short end of the stick and it started with region codes on DVD’s…

hahahaha... indeed.  Sony do have a decent infrastructure with the PlayStation network, but they need distributors like all content creators because Sony don't have enough contend to attract customers of their own in scale.. no one really does.

Btw.. it is DPRK.

Sony don't need Netflix to help them with Internet distribution, they've got
quite the deal going with PRNK (or belligerent ex-employees, depending on
who you prefer to believe).

Doing that word substitution in my head makes IT marketing literature
somewhat more tolerable.
