This also struck me. I was surprised that they picked WWE of all things, you would think that video would be region locked and thus not available outside of the US, like a lot of things are.
- izacus 10y agoI think that pretty much is just the reflection of the fact that Google never properly cared to bring their products outside of US. A lot of even their free services are region locked for no good reason (which is kind of opposed to Apple for example, who rarely region locks their services).
- dingo_bat 10y agoI'm in India. I searched "wwe". Tons of videos. No evidence of region blocking or as another person said "premium content". Have a look: http://imgur.com/8xgmnDq http://imgur.com/8xgmnDq Maybe they are premium content in US but free here.
- ToastyMallows 10y agoThanks for the fact check! I'm glad that they're not region locked, but I know that a TON of stuff is.
- adamrezich 10y agoPerhaps them using that specific example was an attempt to court Mr. McMahon into opening licensing negotiations, by demonstrating the profitability of a specific target demographic that is watching pirated content anyways.
