Netflix is the problem. Nobody is forcing them to implement a VPN check. Rights holder want this. Netflix just delivers.

  From your own comment it sounds like rights holders are forcing them to implement a VPN check..?

    No. Right holders want this. Netflix could just say no. Of course some stuff might not be available then, but at least their integrity would be intact.

      Could we come up with a solution where Netflix's streaming catalog isn't even thinner?
• bryanrasmussen 8y ago
  I'm pretty sure if Netflix had their way they would not have spent resources on doing a VPN check.

    Why do they have to enforce VPN check for Netflix originals? It seems that Netflix does not own rights for Netflix originals? Wouldn't it be easier to simply say some videos have restrictions but these videos do not?

      > Wouldn't it be easier to simply say some videos have restrictions but these videos do not No. Restricting everything is easier than checking if a video needs to be restricted.

      A lot of "Netflix Originals" are just shows they've brought over from overseas. They will be rights restricted in their home countries still. I don't even know what the Netflix Original logo means anymore.
