Excluding the situation of a traveling user (which is a no-brainer), here’s a very simplistic solution to the problem But the content creators should also realize that in today’s connected world, the audience for any piece of content is global. I understand there are convoluted rules governing global rights. And just because I am out of the country I am no longer a valid customer? Ridiculous. My Netflix account is tied to my address in Manhattan.
If the customer is a US customer but is traveling globally, these restrictions are simply ludicrous. If I wanted to, I would have to go through a US proxy server that slows things down tremendously and even that does not work for Netflix. However, what happens globally? I’ve been in India for a few months. And especially for movies and TV shows I think people are even willing to pay to get instant access rather than download a torrent and wait an undefined period to get the file.
