In a modern world, why are digital products still locked by region/country?
In: Economics
Because legal agreements dictate where things can and cannot be sold/viewed. Rights to media are typically on country by country basis, so the owner of that media needs to agree to terms for allowing access in that market. May simply be wanting more money for more people to have access, but might also have to do with previous agreements, say exclusive access to broadcast a particular show granted to a TV network in a certain country preventing streaming platforms from offering it.
