Furthermore Netflix remains unreachable from France. Actually the access is blocked for all french internet users because of Netflix’s licensing constraints. When a site decide to broadcast some content in a specific country, it has to buy the licensing rights, related to this country. As Netflix isn’t able to freely air in France, it must block its contents to french users.
