Circumventing geographical restrictions on the streaming platform to access content libraries available in other countries is a practice employed by some users. For example, a subscriber in the United States might utilize technology to appear as if they are accessing the service from Japan, thereby gaining access to Japanese television shows and movies not offered in the American library.
This method allows individuals to broaden their entertainment options and experience culturally diverse content. Its prevalence stems from varying licensing agreements between the streaming platform and content providers, which result in different catalogs available in different regions. Historically, this approach has offered a way to overcome these restrictions and access a wider range of films, television series, and documentaries.
