&gt;Why is everyone assuming that greedy German companies aren&#x27;t willing to sell?<p>The OP isn&#x27;t talking about greedy German companies, he&#x27;s complaining about greedy American companies who won&#x27;t let Netflix in Germany show American content to German viewers.  Greedy German companies are a different issue.<p>This whole issue is mainly about greedy American companies, because if there&#x27;s one thing that America produces that people around the world want, it&#x27;s our movies and TV, and a lot of people outside the US were&#x2F;are using VPNs and other such things to get access to a US-based Netflix account because the versions in their own countries didn&#x27;t have all the content that the American version has, and now Netflix is restricting that access.<p>There aren&#x27;t many people outside Germany&#x2F;Austria who really want to see content from German media companies.
