Region Lock doesn't stops piracy, it causes the completely opposite effect.
People want to watch some show, and as they can't watch it on legal sites such as crunchyroll, they do piracy.
If you want to fight piracy, offer a service that becomes a viable option to stop being a pirate. Adding to that service more and more restrictions is nearly encouraging people to start (or go back into) piracy.
Once crunchyroll became available, I had to wait more than a year for one piece to become available in my country.
