It’s not just Netflix, it’s every licensing issue in every country.

I love lots of foreign television, but quite a lot of it isn’t immediately available (or ever available) in my country.

If I want to watch those shows or movies, I am literally at the mercy of the piracy community helping me access them, because there’s a good chance that it’s either months or years away from release in my country, or that I’ll be unlucky and it will never release here at all.

It’s a completely broken system, and Gabe Newell called it what it was over a decade ago. Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.

It won’t be solved without massive changes to international copyrights and how shows/movies are bought and sold on an international market.
