I do not miss the important information here.
The blockade has nothing to do with piracy.
It is because of broadcasting rights.
Yes they are decades behind.
Sure, they should not be restricted to a country/region in this "modern time", but that is how it is now and broadcasters and perhaps even/also governments need to change it in my opinion.
There is however already some good news.
The European government is working on a law that says that all streaming broadcasters must make the same content available in all European countries.
e.g. Netflix must broadcast the same series they now only show in Italy also in all other European countries.
In my opinion the something like that should also go for all "traditional" broadcasters.
They should either broadcast something and everyone can watch it or don't broadcast it.
And yes, it can be for a fee or only to subscribers.
Anyway, a VPN is meant to encrypt data traffic between sender and receiver and that is working.
