it's just so obnoxious they're pretending they get to charge more for using a website somewhere else. simultaneous streams, sure - at least that makes sense that it's something the company would know and reasonably suffer from. but the idea that you're formally tethered to somewhere is so fucking invasive and fundamentally wrong. it's the INTERNET you sick fucks. it's not like they're paying extra shipping because someone has a family in alaska.
