Media licensing, The broadcast industry, and the lawyers firmly attached to it, pre-existed the Internet.

So now we have laws and customs from the 1930s governing streaming tv on the Internet.

Don't worry, with new laws requiring x% of content has to be made in a country, we can ensure that geolocking is enshrined in both old and modern laws.

These laws are simply ridiculous. Good content simply sells. Just look at Parasites, Money Heist. International success from small local foreign studios.
