I do understand that argument - let's just agree that it's a crap business model & move on.
buying the right to stream to x Million folks in a country made sense when most of those folks stayed inside of the borders, but once large numbers of them take to globe trotting. and to expecting an on-demand service everywhere...
And new services anyway blur the boundary; with netflix I am buying the right to stream, but if I pay Amazon to add a video to my cloud library, I am buying some combo of own & stream. For them to say you've bought it, you own it, but you can still only stream it while in country X is too subtle for your average customer ). I believe there was a recent fiasco where Disney pulled the right to watch bought cloud content for some Amazon customers in some locations.
