Did you say it's perfectly legal to use a VPN to change the appearance of location, just to watch TV shows/services that aren't available in my current, actual location?
I hope due diligence was done, because I'm pretty sure that is against the Terms of Service for several subscription platforms (that is to say, it's likely a breach of contract). NetFlix for example, used to hold the opinion that they would terminate the subscription of VPN users. More recently, they moved to change their service instead, so when using a VPN, if they know you're using a VPN, you simply see things that have a global licence only. In those cases, that content was already visible to you, using a VPN just limits what content you can see.
Nothing about that VPN company in-particular, it just annoys me that a lot of VPN providers extol this "benefit" of using a VPN, when it's never been true (one could argue, such claims contribute to false claims to generate sales).
