Why are so many people complain now? I had this discussion a couple of
years back (last IETF Meeting in Berlin).

HE can't guarantee that a tunnel terminating in the US is not used by
someone outside the US. Netflix has to guarantee the content owners that
US content will only be available to US customers. So Netflix is
blocking HE tunnels in order to buy content for their customers.

The problem is with the content industry[1] fearing to loose some bucks
because a handful of nerds want to watch movies / TV shows in the
original version ahead of time.

[1] Those are also the people putting "copying DVDs is illegal" videos
on DVDs which you are forced to watch using a normal TV/DVD player
combination. People who are just copying the DVD will leave out such
trailer.
