This is not about ipv6, it is about an anonymous tunnel.

Agreed. This is also not about ipv6. Doing geo-location based DRM is hard
and IMHO painful for all parties involved.

My point is IPv6 should not be the collateral damage or conflated in an
issue that has nothing to do ipv6.  This is about an anonymous tunnel
service and strict DRM rules.

IPv6 works fine.  Tunnels and VPN and Netflix do not work fine.
