My guess is that Netflix has now positioned themselves as the first global 'television' network. They hopefully have enough power and leverage to stop the content producers from stupidly restricting access via region, but they're not able to do this effectively if users can easily bypass the restrictions. If it doesn't work out then at least they'll get a global audience for their own content and the rest will go back to piracy.
