Who decides which TV films are blocked and according to which criteria? I live abroad and watch TV via a media library without paying TV fees. So I understand geoblocking in general, but not why some films are blocked and others aren't. For example, some episodes from the same TV production are blocked and others aren't. I understand the reason for geoblocking, but not the criteria why some are blocked and others aren't. Does anyone know?

Loading...Hey, which streaming providers do you like best and why?
And what do you have to do/how do you organize yourself to keep it that way?
If I stream on Twitch and someone writes in the chat do I have to stream on my phone or can I make it so that I can see the chat on the TV of my Xbox
Hello, I've learned that if an offer is too good, it's usually illegal, but I keep getting ads on Facebook for the IPTV provider Shadow TV. It supposedly includes almost everything, like Sky, DAZN, Netflix, etc., and costs only a fraction of the subscription price. Is it legal or definitely illegal? They assure you it's…

Ladies and Gentlemen Does anyone know how I can extend Wi-Fi from one building to another? The buildings are about 100 meters apart, and it's also possible to lay a cable. Thank you in advance for your answers.(;
As a rule, licensed productions (Hollywood films, sports transmissions, …) are concerned that licensors either require more license fees for increased range or request a regional restriction. When you look at the transmission via satellite, you will find various approaches, e.g. “Simply throw out the money with full hands” (ARD/ZDF), “encrypt despite forced fees, but provide every customer with enough smart cards” (ORF) or “Spotbeam, who does not cover much more than the target area, but unencrypted” (BBC). And on the Internet you can control the whole thing a little more targeted (because it isn’t VPNs – I never tried it) by geoblocking, which filters the IP addresses by provider and thus land and only allows IPs from your own country.
Now you can say, for example, ARD: Tagesschau is 100% self-production and belongs (the latter, an independent, neutral reporting, for at least once fulfills) to the basic contract in the broadcasting state contract – is not blocked and is freely available. Soccer is bought for expensive money and you already waste a lot of money, because you cannot encode and the Austrians and Swiss of the language mighty and others of the language can not watch powerfully free on Astra (whether they want it and as stupid as our commentators can bear, stands on another sheet – advantage for all non-German speakers who can see the game for free without having to bear the stupid comments).
And then there’s something else in there.
And this “in between” what you’re describing, blocking some of the consequences, some of them not, and some of them also with supposed own productions, has legal reasons.
Firstly, it may be that self-production is a contract production 100% from a private production company. Depending on the design of the contract, this company then has the international exploitation rights and may request partial geoblocking in order to be able to demand money for it again.
Or, and here it becomes real perfide: Since public broadcasting is actually non-profit, he has recovery companies such as ZDF Enterprises or WDR Media Group, which take over international distribution of rights in the case of own productions. These are private companies (GmbHs), which are allowed to earn money and in which the broadcasters then hold shares. And even the ZDF can prescribe to the ZDF that it has to implement most pleasing geoblocking to where Anders can earn more money.
Understand? Well, it’s licenses. Licenses cost money that is not everyone ready to pay.
But I don’t care, because my VPN service doesn’t care about geoblocking.
And it doesn’t work for once, and I want to see a movie absolutely, there are still streaming services that use abroad is without risk, because on consumers who are like me and you are abroad, the German Abmahnmafia has no control.
What VPN service and streaming services are you using? I had VPN Express, paid for 1 year, but VPN was not allowed in the country. Didn’t this Express VPN have to know?
I currently have NordVPN, which expires next month. In addition, I have CyberGhost in a 45-day test operation. I’m disappointed by CyberGhost, and I’ll announce it. I will extend NordVPN. It allows access to Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ content from Germany, and to Formula 1 via ServusTV.
