Also framing the discussion of whether or not you are entitled to view media or not is a dead end IMO. Rather than do the typical Western philosophy thing and try to define and rationalize “property” or “rights,” let’s look at the world as is, as a system of incentives and rational actors. If it is easy to watch $(UK-licensed TV show) from America, people will do it and then the production and distribution companies get exactly 0 dollars and in fact will lose money fighting a losing whack-a-mole war against torrents. If it is easy to log in to netflix dot com (NOTE: netflix, not (NFLX | DIS | HBO | AMZN | HULU | NBC)) to watch $(show), people will do that and you can let Netflix and production companies fight about the beans.
