This isn't a particularly good solution as it relies on another person's goodwill, which is neither reliable nor available to everyone.

Assuming that the current geo-located situation continues, and realistically who sees that changing?, what's needed is a legal framework that explicitly allows people from different countries to access citizen-appropriate content in other parts of the world. Why should I have to jump through hoops to access a paid service like Netflix just because I happen to be located abroad for a week?

VPNs were never more than a band-aid solution to relocation problems, and truly are a terrible solution. They don't actually offer anonymity, privacy, or convenience. Their original job - tying remote people into a private network - is the only thing they're truly good at.

Right - the legal system didn't have this problem before.

If you took a vacation in France, you could only watch what was on French TV or in their Cinemas.

Times have changed, and we'll suffer while old industries catch up.
