“The content isn’t available in your region”
You have the content. I want to watch the content. But nooooo, I have to turn my VPN on and pretend I’m somewhere else, and you know I’m not really there because I can’t magically materialize half-way across the world in 1 minute.
So what’s the point? Just let me watch the damn content.
I’m sure these region locks make a lot of sense for the suits when it comes to paying royalties and whatnot but as a consumer it’s infuriating. Archaic ass bullshit.
Some artists sell their music DRM free themselves, generally via their Merch Store.
Failing that, Qobuz has a store alongside their streaming subscription and I believe it’s DRM free.
