> NRK is only georestricting because the licenses forbids them from not doing it.
I would be more inclined to say that they're doing it to be "safe". For example, their immediate neighbour, Sweden, has a selection "Kan ses utomlands"[2] -- which, roughly, means can see outside of the country.
Presumably, like elsewhere in the world, not everything NRK is showing is licensed only for Norway.
To the original point: The issue isn't that BankId is being used, it's saying you can just watch the originals, in their mother-tongue (person-tongue?).
For example, NRK produces some originals, like Vikingane[3] that eventually became Norsemen[4] on Netflix.
Clearly, that's been licensed for semi-global (if not global) consumption via Netflix; however, as you can see from the NRK link, you still need to login via BankId to watch it in it's original form.
Again: None of this is a problem, per se, but saying that one can just watch original shows - in their original language - isn't congruent at all with reality, these days.
