They will even pay above the going rate in those other regions (VPN + exchange rate + currency fees).

Only to have the content providers come back with "No, we don't want you're money." I think this is changing now though as Netflix et al. become available, though I'd expect their libraries to still be relatively anaemic compared to the overseas counterparts.

Netflix are at least on record as saying that they want content to be global. However, they are also on record as saying that in principle using a vpn to access US Netflix is piracy (but that they don't think it is important). I am however curious what happens when some copyright troll decides to subpoena them for their records on who might be connecting from known vpns.
