Again the problem is cable TV. Hope it dies a quick death so we can move on to more modern channels of distribution.

- izacus 11y agoSo instead of cable TV I'll only be watching "This service is not available in your country" text on my home set? :P
- s73v3r 11y agoWhy do you feel so entitled to the work of others?
- bbradley406 11y agoA customer in some countries (USA, major EU countries, etc) is entitled to the ability to pay for certain content. Why shouldn't GP be entitled to the same thing? Is their money and advertising-eyeball-hours worth less? This isn't to say regional differences don't exist (you can't gift games between some countries on Steam due to currency / local market prices). When you want to pay for content though, and the option is just not there, I think entitlement is the wrong word.
- s73v3r 11y agoNo, nobody is "entitled" to access to content.
- golergka 11y ago> Why shouldn't GP be entitled to the same thing? Is their money and advertising-eyeball-hours worth less? Because the owners of the content, for whatever reasons (yes, these reasons are utterly stupid, of course), don't want to sell it to them. Before, I used a theoretical example of one-copy album, but thanks to Wu Tang, I can just direct you straight to them.
- swiley 11y agoThat was obviously sarcasm.
- Symbiote 11y agoPerhaps you should direct that to the European Commission. "Tackling geo-blocking: Geo-blocking leaves many Europeans unable to use the online services available in other EU countries, or redirects them to a local store with different prices. This is often done without any justification. Such discrimination cannot exist in a single market." http://ec.europa.eu/priorities/digital-single-market/access/ http://ec.europa.eu/priorities/digital-single-market/access/
