Sounds like netflix is in a bind here. They are only licensed to show content in specific regions, and there are no doubt penalties by the actual copyright holders of they go outside those bounds. If they piss off their customers, though, they lose money.

They must be buying a database of IP address locations and VPN addresses from somebody. I doubt they are putting that together themselves.
