Geoblocking, circumvention and the organisation of digital media markets

包括iTunes、Hulu、Netflix和BBC iPlayer在内的数字内容门户网站使用地理封锁来限制某些市场的访问。澳大利亚消费者越来越多地找到规避此类限制的方法。该项目旨在调查地理封锁和地理封锁规避如何塑造澳大利亚的数字媒体消费。它将对新兴的跨国媒体实践及其对受众、制作人和监管机构的意义进行严格分析。该项目致力于促进对数字内容流的理解，并在动荡的监管环境中为媒体政策提供信息。

Digital content portals including iTunes, Hulu, Netflix and BBC iPlayer use geoblocking to restrict access in certain markets. Australian consumers are increasingly finding ways to circumvent such restrictions. This project aims to investigate how geoblocking and geoblocking circumvention are shaping digital media consumption in Australia. It will offer rigorous analysis of an emerging transnational media practice, and what it means for audiences, producers and regulators. This project endeavours to advance the understanding of digital content flows and inform media policy in a volatile regulatory environment.
