Netflix is facing heavy pressure to close its VPN loophole

By this point, everyone and their internet-connected dog seems to know that you can access US Netflix from abroad using a simple VPN, or even just a Chrome extension. Your streaming days might be limited, however: Netflix is reportedly under fire to shut the loophole down. According to CNET Australia, a group of Aussie rights-holders are putting pressure on Netflix to cut off access to US Netflix from Australia. Despite Netflix not being available Down Under, an estimated 200,000 people are using the service anyway, something that’s probably not making Australian cable providers particularly happy.
