Is American Netflix illegal in Germany via VPN?

Which law should that violate?

Maybe not the law but, can my Netflix acc be locked?

Against the copyright, the right of use, the license right and against the Netflix AGB. But those are more guidelines for some…

"Illegal" means unlawful.

I googled a bit - Netflix is always technically upgrading to override the VPN tools, but I have not heard of account blackouts.

Yes, it is. No, they do not lock you up.

The terms and conditions are not a law.

And to construct a copyright infringement by the end user from such a use, I think for… Daring. Whose copyrights are violated?

The originator of the film equips Netflix with the country-specific licenses. If there's no film in Germany, there's no valid license for it. By bypassing via VPN, watching the film constitutes a copyright infringement in the sense of the guaranteed license. Granted, this is the problem of Netflix, not the user, but it still remains a violation.

It violates the terms and conditions of Netflix. If you notice, you will not be blocked but only access via the VPN server you are using. Therefore, VPN providers must constantly change their IP addresses if they want to continue to offer access to Netflix and Co.
