This comment nicely brings in the pain of geo-restrictions. There are services that would accept payments when done from the local country (say, with a billing address there), but wouldn't allow streaming for IP addresses believed to be somewhere else. And now the customer has to bother about getting a VPN service on top of streaming service subscriptions. This game that's being played, with "get this, and this, and this, and also that, plus something else", gets annoying quite fast.
