The recent South Park movies aren't available in the Netherlands. I guess the exclusive streaming service is a pirate's life then.
I live in the US, but there's a lot of media I'd like to watch that isn't available in the US. Piracy is literally my only option, because I'm not given legal ways to consume that content.
A legal option is VPNs
Not all VPNs are equal. Also, even with a good VPN, you still can have your real area leaking via your Real Time Clock.
Honestly, just pirating is a lot fucking easier than paying for attempts at multiple VPNs just to see if I can make an account at the BBC and watch iPlayer. I've failed at that more times than I've succeeded.
Finally, VPNs are only legal in the sense that the only thing the BBC can do is... deny you access to their content. Similar to Youtube and Ad Blockers. It's their content, they own it, and it's fair game for them to try to make people pay for it. Since the BBC is publicly funded, that means me making a BBC account to watch iPlayer via a VPN is probably breaking their "Terms of Service" which means they are legally allowed to remove my account at any time. Because I am effectively using the BBC without paying for it if I use a VPN.
It's legal, but it's still a TOS violation which can get you banned by a lot of services.
