  I confess to being momentously surprised if this wasn't the driving reason :)

  This is not quite the same. Netflix and Hulu have contractual reasons for not allowing out of market access, as they 
do not have distribution rights to content in all markets. Then there is also the question of password sharing, which 
is a legitimate reason to restrict access.

  IIRC Netflix will still let you watch Netflix originals even if they think you are using a proxy or VPN. They will 
even occasionally fix misdesignated IP space.

  Even the courts are coming around to the fact that an IP address does not equal a person. When even ultraprogressive 
instances like these are starting to get it, maybe it's time for all the other neanderthals to get with the times?
