If you look at the parties that get affected by VPN bypassing geoblock:

1. Netflix: they don't care, they already get your payment from subscriptions

2. The content owner: they don't truly care, sort of. They license the content to Netflix and already get the payment from Netflix. However, they does not license to Netflix to serve Malaysia region and therefore getting less payment from Netflix, instead, they want to license such content to Malaysia content provider such as Astro to earn additional money. If Astro already license that and pay the content owner, then the content owner don't really care how the users get their content from, VPN or Astro, because to them the earnings are already the same. And if Astro does not license that content, then there is no way for the content owner to make additional money even if the user VPN and stream a region block content. Or rather, they may still make some money, by either selling bluray or DVD disc, which has already gone bankrupt in Malaysia, or persuade Astro to license the content and hence getting extra money from it. But it is a bit of a long shot so it is likely that they know it won't truly make much differences. Nowadays the content owner focus is more on launching their own streaming service, and then cut off Netflix and get the user to subscribe directly from them.

3. Astro: they care. because they already pay for the content and it is supposed to be their selling point to persuade more people to sign up for Astro and buy premium package from them. But does /k care about Astro?
Also, if the titles are already very old and Astro does not pay for the content, then they don't care also.

Compare to this to someone simply pirates instead of paying VPN to bypass region block:

1. Netflix gets nothing
2. Content owner gets nothing
3. Astro gets nothing

It is quite obvious all the stakeholders care more about someone pirating than bypassing region block.

After its launch in major markets around the world mostly in the west, Disney+ looks like it’s going to launch in key Asian markets this year. They have officially announced their launch in neighbouring Singapore this February 2021, but they have yet to officially announce its launch in Malaysia.
The good news for us is that Disney+ now has an official social media account for Malaysia sighted here on Facebook and Instagram which is verified under the name Disney+ HotstarMY. Disney+ Hotstar is already operating in some regions in Asia including Indonesia and India, and the exact same “Loading…” image was used to launch the official Disney+ Singapore Instagram account six weeks ago.

For those that don’t know Disney+ (pronounced Disney Plus) is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service owned and operated by the The Walt Disney Company. Disney+ is Disney’s answer to Netflix and will be primarily showing films and television series produced by The Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Television, including Disney brands such as Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and many more.

The price for a monthly subscription in the U.S. is USD6.99 (RM30) or USD69.99 (RM300) a year. Hence, if Disney+ plans to launch in Malaysia very soon, we can expect similar prices or even lower prices as they would have to compete with the likes of Netflix.

So fingers crossed and let’s hope that there’ll be an official announcement soon!
