    No idea, but it sounds like you are allowed to use them. But most likely not to do anything illegal, such as violating any license agreements. So any streaming service can forbid using a VPN to change location and bypass region-blocking. But again, no idea.

      Not sure using a vpn to bypass region-locking is violating a license, but dammit I’m a comment, not a cop, Sibbo

      This was mostly a ruling about the responsibility for websites (don’t have to block VPNs to enforce regional restrictions of content, etc) and VPN providers (not responsible for users circumventing regional restrictions). Websites can still choose to try to block, of course. Users can still be liable as usual if they use it to break the law but private companies are generally not responsible for enforcing that others follow the law, they’re responsible just for their own actions.
