I want to agree, but I can't.  Move up the stack.  I pay my bill with a

Netflix my home address directly.

If they are willing to trust the CC information to take my money, then
they should also be willing to trust the information for my service address.

If I want to use my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel, to watch content
that matches my stated address which matches my CC billing address,
which matches my IPv4 address (region), then why the REDACTED can't I do
so over my HE IPv6 tunnel?

Hi Grant,

Philosophically, Netflix agrees with you. Unfortunately they have to
keep the studios happy or many of their content contracts evaporate.
And too many content owners care very much where you are right this
instant. Because they are unreasonable luddites who think that
geographic monopolies make good business sense.
