That use of convenience was more to do with the hoops to jump through to pay for content that was region blocked. VPNing/fake addresses to be able to pay for content was rare, but it did happen a lot a few years ago. It's less relevant to netflix perhaps. Because its more binary for me on Netflix. If its available on there I watch it. If it isn't I see where it is, if its too pricey I don't watch it. Indie stuff is a different kettle of fish. I tend to buy direct from them. I've managed to pick up a fair swag of CDs and DVDs that I can't play because I don't even have a CD or DVD player on my PC.
