Netflix banning HE tunnels

Wed Jun 8 16:04:22 UTC 2016

Getting back on topic here, the biggest group to blame here is the content
producers and the MPAA who insist on only giving licenses out for content
on a regional/country basis, and I would bet the balance of my bank account
that they have forced netflix to block VPNs Tunnels and anything else by
force, in order to keep the licensed content they have.

Remember that the industry has been at war with Netflix from the beginning,
the cable companies (some are also content producers) hate netflix.

I am sure that netflix doesn't give a crap where you are located as long as
you pay the subscription, it is their licensing agreements for content that
has forced their hand and created this mess.

Shame on the content producers, and shame on the MPAA.
