Who do you think you're hurting by... ummm... watching a movie... on a service that you paid for?

  You hurt the content creator since licensing agreements are based on the assumption that people only view content that is intended for the region that they are in.

    Imagine that instead of using a VPN, you flew to the other region, watched the content there, and then flew back home. From the content creator's perspective, how does the VPN hurt them if that doesn't?

      They can get more money by licensing their content to be available in more regions.

        Book publishers could get more money if libraries didn't exist. Are libraries unethical too?

          In some countries libraries pay authors per number of lends. If such scheme is in place or price of copy is higher then it is not unethical. Though I would say otherwise it is comparable to piracy.

            Do you think libraries are unethical in countries where they don't do that?

        That's between them and Netflix though, not them and Netflix's consumers.
