It’s not really exactly the same thing! A web services should not be location bound! What if next to access your email you have to be home or pay for any extra location? Following your previous line of reasoning to access standard mail you have to be home!

It wasn’t a line of reasoning or a justification. I was not justifying anything or arguing for or against anything. Web services are already location bound. For example, there are YouTube videos available in the U.S. but not in Russia. I’m certain there are emails legal to be sent and read in Iran that are not legal to be sent in the U.S. One state in the U.S. is attempting to ban abortion information being sent to people within that state’s borders (likely just posturing but the point stands).

I can see from Netflix’s perspective that maybe the cost of allowing too many streams from one account is not profitable. Clearly they think this is a problem.

The reason for restricovodeos is licensing on the content in every country… within the same country no restrictions apply. I do understand Netflix point of wanting to restrict account sharing… but I don’t see why this should impact people that simply move around a lot! Another example: I have a friend that is a consultant… basically every week is in a different place! No Netflix at all for him?
