Putting a wire or a signal across a border doesn't change content licensing between businesses operating in different countries. We wish it did but it doesn't.

- CaptSpify 11y agoThe internet is a global connection where the concept of "countries" don't even make sense. They only exist on the internet, because we put them there. Packets don't magically change when they cross borders, why should the content?
- justinhj 11y agoThe concept of countries makes sense legally and practically when it comes to licensing content. That's not netflix's fault.
- CaptSpify 11y agoThey might make sense legally, but they don't make sense on the Internet. We're trying to patch our archaic rules onto it. Sorry laws can't keep up with technology, but tough shit to those trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Also, while it may not be Netflix's fault, it's definitely Netflix's problem. They are the ones losing out on free money.
