I would guess that the policy was originally written for shady piracy merchants that  are at higher risk for fraudulent payments. Now that it&#x27;s in place, it&#x27;s easy for a copyright holder to come knocking who wants to license their content in Australia but can&#x27;t because the Australians are already watching their content on Netflix, who only had the UK rights. It&#x27;s too late for them to rewrite the policy just to pick up a few hundred dollars in VPN buyers&#x27; transaction fees without angering deep-pocketed opposition.
