Threatened by potential EU regulatory changes, the movie, music, and sports industries are vehemently defending the practice of geo-blocking, as an essential part of their business models. Rightsholders argue that eliminating geo-blockades would devalue content, force price hikes for consumers in some countries, and ultimately reduce investment in content and localized services.
The industry can go fuck itself. Actors, Football players, CEOs et al, don’t need to earn 25M€ per year. Spend less in wages for those cunts and you’ll see profitability rise without geoblocking.
Why do you hate success, boy?!
These people work very hard selling you shit you don’t need!
We argue that we won’t be able to buy a second gold plated swimming pool if these rules are gone!
Let it burn
How are we going to pay a football player 50 million if you don’t allow us to cheat everyone and squeeze every cent out of them?
Fuck them
Don’t fund your oppressors folks…
This is another example of how class war looks like in nuts and bolts. But there thousands other ways the corpo parasite will use the state against the taxpayer who funds it.
Taxation isn’t voluntary
Paying for any media slop is ;)
Does VPN help, in this case, to avoid geo-fencing?
Usually yes. In some cases, companies will block access to known VPN IPs outright.
But most of the time, the cost of policing that is way higher than the revenue they’d get from the handful of VPN users that decide to go through proper channels rather than decide not to engage, or worse, spread word of their anti-consumer practices and potentially lose legitimate business.
I wish EU geofenced their NAFO-shills from commenting on war in Ukraine on international platforms.
I wish Russia would stop bombing Ukraine and the USA would stop its proxy war on Gaza.
US is guilty as fuck in suppotting the genocide but let’s not remove the agency of the Israeli Jew here mate
Found the paid Russian shill
