The countries that don't have this material are also the ones where you can pirate with impunity. The only ones losing in that situation is the content producer, because you can get all their stuff for free with impunity and they are missing out on revenue on purpose.
I do not believe it is proper to be "sad" about the state of affairs. The content producers are obviously profitable to make their material in the first place knowing in advance billions of people will have no legal avenue to purchase it. They make the rational choice to produce solely based off the potential customer base, which simply does not include you if you are outside the Amero-European media sphere, which is only nice for you since you can then get it for free.
