In what respect does Netflix not listen to its customers? It is trying to acquire content on a global basis but it won't get any content suppliers to sign deals with it if it doesn't abide by regional rights.

That's an interesting hypothesis, and I don't mean it sarcastically.
Blocking vpns for a start Netflix customers asked them not to do this as many use vpns for privacy reasons but Netflix still went ahead anyway and blocked vpns, smart dns you can understand as it's obvious what they are mostly used for but vpns no need to block them many myself included use them for privacy reasons, i don't want the goverment (for example) seeing what i do online or tracking me (no nothing naughty lol) so i use a vpn to give me privacy, Netflix should understand this and maybe say "ok use your vpn but only for the region you subscribed to netflix in, if you use other regions you won't gain access" complex i kjnow but doable.
To add i'm quite happy with uk netflix there is some superb original content on it i think globaly too shows such as stranger things, orange is the new black, daredevil and slowly they do seem to be getting more and more new movies. I just rather Netflix allowed me to use my vpn for my privacy, vpns can also protect users too against things such as hackers, no i'm not being paranoid it does happen.
