While many of the concerns and complaints are not new, there are a few that stand out, starting with the MPA’s concern about ‘circumvention services’ such as VPNs and the Tor Network, which can be used by ‘geolocation pirates’.
For example, if Netflix is not available in country X, people could use a VPN to make it appear they come from country Y, where the service is legally available. This is a problem, MPA notes, particularly in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“Circumvention services, such as VPNs, DNS masks or Tor networks, are widely available in the UAE and are used to access and stream content from Internet-based TV and Video-On-Demand services that legitimately operate in different territories, but have not been licensed for the UAE.
“This poses a direct threat to legitimate platforms which are currently offering the same content in the UAE,” MPA adds.
This is what happens when you turn something good into Cable TV in another name. Back then there used to be just 4-5 streaming options. Now it's about 30+ and it's getting out of hand.
