Users from all possible corners of the world were happy to spend money on the service, however they were planning to use VPNs and proxies to access the content which was blocked in their own states. Netflix and (particularly) its associates were never happy with this particular arrangement, however there was not much of a serious attempt to fight the problem.

Moreover, despite Netflix CEO Reed Hastings telling investors that subscriber amounts would not change, surveys reveal that users may resort to piracy more often if they can not obtain the content through legitimate means.

“A huge variety of individuals are impacted,” Jordan Fried, CEO of Buffered VPN, told Wired.

Some of these folks got in touch with Wired to talk about discussing stories which will probably seem familiar to thousands of other Netflix subscribers experiencing similar problems, the prohibitions. Nevertheless, the actual problem for the majority of users beyond America is they are spending the same cost for content that is less.

“We pay exactly the same sum and yet we get a portion of the content accessible elsewhere. Cash isn’t the problem. It is not fair. That is my problem with it.”
