That's not how Netflix does it. You need a VPN that will show you as being in the country where your subscription is or you can't use it at all. Your subscription is only for the content they hold rights to in your country and they cannot apply your fees to content licensing for other countries. This holds true even within free movement areas like the EU but some countries are grouped together and so subscribers can access it across multiple countries.

This is definitely not true, or wasn't true when I lived in London. I used my American account, and all that happened was that when I logged in, I was accessing the UK version of Netflix. There was no problem at all. If I wanted to see something that was only on the US version of Netflix, I had to use a VPN.

They changed that at least as early as 2015. I was told the same thing by a lot of people when I moved from the US to England in late 2015 but it wasn't true at all. I had to cancel and resubscribe with Netflix UK to access anything without a VPN.

Hmm, okay. I lived in London from 2014-2015, so I guess it's possible it changed right after I moved.

I remember specifically watching Spartacus on Netflix in the UK (I was using my family's American account). But UK Netflix only had two seasons licensed at the time, so I had to use a VPN to swap to American Netflix to watch all five seasons.
