VoD – EU360

Last Friday premiered the third season of the series House of Cards. For the first time since the series began, I can legally view it at the same time as in the US, where the series comes from and also at the same time as in France, the UK, Ireland and other countries where Netflix is available. However if, for example, I would decide to return home to Slovenia, I couldn’t access to the service, even though I paid for it. To exaggerate, it is as if I would buy a book in Belgium and it would be confiscated at my arrival at the airport in Ljubljana, just because this book is not sold in Slovenia. The only difference is that the second thing is forbidden, while the first is still allowed. But why?

Prejšnji petek je premiero doživela tretja sezona serije Hiša iz kart. Prvič odkar serija obstaja sem si jo lahko legalno ogledal istočasno kot v ZDA, od koder serija izhaja ter tudi istočasno kot v Franciji, Veliki Britaniji, na Irskem in v drugih državah kjer je Netflix na voljo. Vendar, če bi se na primer odločil, da se vrnem domov v Slovenijo, bi bil dostop do storitve onemogočen. Čeprav sem zanjo plačal. Če pretiravam, je to tako, kot če bi v Belgiji kupil knjigo in bi mi jo ob pristanku na Brniku vzeli, ker je v Sloveniji ne prodajajo. Druga stvar je prepovedana, prva pa na žalost še vedno dovoljena. Ampak, zakaj že?
