Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime and so many others operate worldwide. Yes, Netflix allowed the stupid "password sharing" for way too long. Regardless, these companies make money hand over foot. I would hope the BBC could figure it out.

Their fear is well founded, but by not allowing Expats the option of buying, they leave us all no option but to steal their content. Personally, I'd much rather be legal, but there is no option. Of course, some would continue to steal, but many would choose the legal option.
The BBC do make money hand over fist with the TV License Fee (now standing at GBP159/year) which brought in +/- GBP 3.8 Billion in 2021/22. They continually shoot themselves in the foot by paying egotistic tw@ts like Gary Lineker and the like obscene salaries.
