Amazon (sort of) do this, which is why I cancelled their Video service
here in Johannesburg. It will show you what's in the library, but when
you play it, it will tell you that it's not available for your region.
If they could add the "commercial activism" button, I'd be okay to lose
5 seconds pressing it.

There are too many moving parts for Netflix to reliably build code that
could determine that an HE tunnel is coming from the right place content
owners mandate their media be distributed to. That code would end up
getting unwieldy, taking up too much time and becoming a full-time job.

Since Netflix are sinking more and more cash into their own content
every year, to me, that seems like a better long-term solution.
