I'd like to add that geoblocking also exists for physical products, as unlikely as it seems. I recently wanted to buy a new car in one EU country, with my company from another EU country paying for it(it's complicated, but suffice to say I live in one country and run a business in another) - only to be told that the manufacturer forbids all dealerships from selling new cars to someone without an address in the same country, even if they are paying cash. It's ridiculous. Fortunately later on I found out that many dealerships found out how to get around it, they just order the new car for themselves and sell it to you as a "second hand" car the day it arrives from factory - and the manufacturer cannot stop them from selling used cars to whoever they please. |
