- bjtitus 5y agoI'm curious what the details around the anonymous IP address assignment are. Protecting copyright holders seems to be the point of the IP assignment to not break content restrictions. Are they able to assign a set for an entire country? If so, that doesn't narrow it down all that much. However, major league sports blackouts wouldn't work, so is it by city?
- ezfe 5y agoPresumably they're not actually blocking the current location - just not using it to inform their selection.
- Siira 5y agoThey might just use randomization, which is only statistically not where the user is. It’s the intuitive approach, and easy.
