From western Europe: I pay for Netflix and Amazon. Getting titles on them seems easy until you run into localization, while Netflix seems to support dozens of languages with its own titles I still run into too many videos that only offer a subtitle instead of having the English language dub to fall back to.
Can we please throw all copyright lawyers into an active volcano and try to set up a system that doesn't make it intentionally impossible to legally watch the English language version of a video hosted by Amazon while in a non English speaking country? Also throw the Amazon execs who signed those licensing agreements after them.
- stefandesu 5y agoYeah, this seems to be an Amazon problem. Every time I rent a movie on Amazon, I triple check whether they have the original audio. Some have English audio but no English subs which really doesn't make any sense.
- glenneroo 5y agoThe UI to determine these details is also frustrating. My friend had never seen Something About Mary so we decided to pay 3.99€ to watch it. It ended up being 480p and dubbed horribly in German. Never again.
