German soccer online streams geo-locked
Holds True for Matches, Individual Broadcasts
a combined effort that focuses on helping organizations improve their security.
Individuals in Germany need to make sure their favorite teams are broadcasting on the correct streaming service. Many streams are geo-blocked, namely, live streams for Donna Leon, which is only available in the country. Livestreams for other popular shows, like Tod zwischen den Zeilen, are also likely to be restricted to a specific geographic region.
This is not just a concern for copyrighted content. Even free-to-air streams, such as the third and final group stage match of the European Championship between Germany and Switzerland, will be geo-blocked for those watching outside the country.
The issue affects a wide range of streaming providers. For example, ZDF's livestreams are only available within Germany. As a result, viewers who want to watch their favorite German shows and sporting events online may need to use a VPN or other workaround to get around the geo-blocking restrictions.
The reasons for geo-blocking are complex and vary depending on the content and provider. In some cases, it is due to copyright restrictions. In other cases, it is due to contractual agreements between the provider and the content owners. Despite the widespread use of geo-blocking, there is not a lot that can be done to avoid the restrictions if you are not in the correct region.
