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。澳大利亚消费者正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屏蔽和地理屏蔽规避如何影响澳大利亚的数字媒体消费。它将提供一个新兴的跨国媒体实践的严格分析，以及它对观众，制片人和监管者意味着什么。本项目旨在促进对数字内容流的理解，并在不稳定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.
