Licences for media are country specific. So vpns allow you to circumvent that. I don't beleive it's piracy. But it's....something.

That made sense at a time when media was physical and could be stopped at the border. There are no border posts in the internet. So now we could either a) make the copyright industry draw up new licenses that make sense for the internet, or b) make everyone else spend billions to create and suffer border posts in the internet.

So if I buy a physical game in the US, that is me buying a licence to play the game (as it has already been made clear legally that I do not own the game through means of DRM). If I then move to a different country and take that game with me without repurchasing it in another country, is that piracy?
