So… I have 8 weeks of vacation a year… does this mean I won’t be able to use my account for 6 of these weeks? What about going to my vacation home during weekends? I do it multiple times a month… why should I pay more for accessing Netflix from a different address? If they start this bullshit in my country they will loose a 10 years loyal customer playing for premium 4K streaming. I have as well prime, Disney+ And Apple TV+… I can survive without them!

Maybe they think you can afford it

[freedom2099]

It’s not that I can’t afford it… it’s a matter of principle! There is no valid reason for an INTERNET SERVICE to be bound to a geographical location (aside of squeezing people out of every penny possible)!

If you mean geographical location within the same country, sure.

If you mean across multiple countries, it gets dramatically more complex. Copyright holders sell streaming rights based on countries and all kinds of other continent negotiation details.

A more relevant example could be a student who goes to their family home on weekends, with parents who don't want a Netflix account themselves.
