First of all you can use pay telephones like Sky from abroad via VPN, of course, only if you are really a Sky subscriber and also pay the service. The same applies to streaming providers such as Netflix, if you use the American service from your holiday abroad. You do not commit fraud in this sense, just use the offer you have paid.

However, the procedure in the normal case violates the general terms and conditions of the respective TV provider, which, of course, only the national broadcast rights to the respective content. What are the consequences?
In the worst case, it may be that you are excluded from the provider and can no longer use the service. Whether they really lock a paying customer seems very questionable.
In jurisprudence, the use of a VPN tool to circumvent a geosperr is not considered a circumvention of an effective protection measure by the TV provider. So, as long as it is only a streaming and not a download, there is no copyright infringement or any other criminal offense.
