The price that the streaming company will pay to buy the right to stream content from a producer depends on the size of the region they're paying for the right to stream to. A larger region = higher cost.

But it also means more sales. Nor is it necessary that the producer charge a flat fee. They could charge a fee per stream. At which point, it doesn't matter where the content is being streamed.
HarryT, I'm not trying to annoy you. I'm just trying to show alternatives, in this day and time.
