  Exactly! Many content providers do that already. It's not really
rocket science, is it!?

  Case in point: I tried several VPN providers. For a certain content
provider, either *all* of them worked (i.e. the content provider was not
checking for VPN IPs), or *none* of them worked (i.e. the content
provider was checking for VPN IPs).
