Why aren’t VPNs against TOS for streaming services?

447 viewsOtherTechnology

So many VPNs (NordVPN, Surfshark, etc.) promote using their service to access content available in different countries. It just seems to me like these services would block access to users with VPNs.

Well, the services make money when people subscribe. If a VPN allows some extra people to subscribe, then that’s good for the company. Content restrictions are not the streaming services idea, they are demands of the IP rights holders. Some low-cost access restrictions are worth it to a streaming service to keep the IP folks onboard. Really sophisticated VPN detection isn’t worth it.
