    Of course you’re right with that. Broadcasting and licensing is regulated by territorial copyright law. What I’m referring to is this:

    Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 of the European Parliament

    This Regulation introduces a common approach in the Union to the cross-border portability of online content services, by ensuring that subscribers to portable online content services which are lawfully provided in their Member State of residence can access and use those services when temporarily present in a Member State other than their Member State of residence.

    I assume they are either not allowed or willing to track how temporary my stay in my home country is which means I can watch without VPN.
