Some geoblocking is just plain dumb. Like MLB in the US. If your team is in a certain division, you can't see the other teams in the same division on MLB on Roku. Your local team wants your fanny in the seats. That I understand. But I can't fly to where my team plays (in the same division, but 1,000 miles away) - expensive. You can get a subscription to a service in the UK anyway that allows you to see all games live. Not in the US.
Time zone geoblocking? Our time zones are as big as some of the EU countries.
Movie is released on the East coast, everyone can find it on the internet If the movie stinks and that is posted before movie released on West coast - that hurts business.
People record on cell phones or text during movie that it stinks.
Political geoblocking for any reason on either the seller or the receivers?
Financial geoblocking? The seller of the product or service does not agree with the country's terms for release?
