Im UK based, I am happy to provide proof of residence, i already pay the uk price in GBP with a UK bank account.
So why not let me "lock" my account to UK? Then whatever IP i pop up on, just show me the UK licensed content ive paid for like normal.
Even better: give me 20 days a year of holiday use, exclude my vpn from that (just show uk content for any vpn connection i make) and ping me if i spend too long overseas.
Im not trying to cheat. I just want to not arse about with my privacy vs their copyright bs.
We already know the agreements arent working. This is a more honest, fairer approach for everyone.
Drop the vacation clause if its easier. Im a british resident with a British account, show me what's British-licensed and forget IP Geo faff or vpn detection or whatever. Just ask for proof of residence once in a while.
Honestly, I bet Netflix would love to do something like this. But they can't, because they'd likely get sued and/or lose rights to distribute content due to breaking contract pledges. This is basically the same reason that the BBC can't offer Brits who are out of the UK access to iPlayer; they just don't have the rights to distribute that content anywhere other than the UK. I hate it.
