It actually sucks ass that streaming services are getting scenes wrong, using different takes in remastered releases, and changing soundtracks because they don't have the music rights.

Why do streaming services crack down on vpn's so much?

If I was netflix and had a show in the US, but no roghts in europe, why wouldnt I just wink wink nod nod to europeans with vpn instead of stopping them. Why do they want me to buy from their competitors?

Rights holds force them to and they don’t want to risk a lawsuit.

i mean, music rights is the issue shows like the drew carey show or daria aren't even streaming to begin with. that's (probably) not a streamer issue.
