Nitra (platform)

"The sad thing about streaming platforms is that they often have content restricted kn certain areas. Take Netflix, for example. Alot of its films and series are exclusive to certain countries — usually the United States.

Hulu and Crackle go a step further and are flat-out exclusively available in the United States of America. Not American? Welp, then that's very unfortunate — no streaming for you. They even go as far as check your IP adress just to make sure you're American. That's one of the main aspects I would like to change with Nitra.

No stupid restrictions based on where you live or who you are; all content on the platform is available all over the world, regardless of ethnicity or otherwise location. Everyone who uses the service gets to see the same content. No differences, no rstrictions. "
