> Without a defense, the court reportedly concluded that both NordVPN and ProtonVPN actively advertise their ability to bypass geo-restrictions, citing match schedules in their marketing materials. The VPNs are therefore seen as active participants in the piracy chain rather than passive conduits, according to local media reports. How is bypassing georestrictions piracy? Also good luck actually banning VPNs. China tried that and many people there still use them. Fuck copyright law in general. It has done damage to humanity as a whole while making a wealthy few even richer.

"copyright industry continues efforts to remove locks from homes so they can come in and inspect your media for piracy any time they want"

If they succeed in banning vpn, then millions of people won't be able to do their jobs. Because tons of companies use it.

can't ban VPNs entirely, people will find a way to circomvent. and what people living in "geo-restricted" areas should even do?? yeah lets make it HARDER for them to access content legitimately surely they will stop piracy. if a service restricts content for me, I WILL pirate it.

It is good for my awareness to read the news about my country from another country. Or read the local news of some event at the (some obscure) local website from another country, instead of a summarized and perhaps skewed global news article of that same country.

Advertisers can't figure out who you are and service providers don't know if you are from where you say you are. This and age verification are about making money and commerce.
