I wan't to buy "How I Meet your Mother" on English with spanish subtitles. I am from Spain and live on Germany. The only option to get the content I am looking for is through megavideo/piratebay. With the films, happen the same. If I use my iTunes spanish account, the content is delayed 6 months, no tv shows and all of them in spanish. If I use a German account, I only get German content. I pay spotify premium since two years ago. But for tv shows and films. The only content i can get is from sites like megavideo/piratebay, etc. This industry is the only one that doesn't offer to the client what the client wants. Easy.

I feel your pain. Unless you are English speaking in the USA, Spanish speaking in Spain, or German speaking in Germany then you are an edge case. I pity the 14 million "edge case" Catalan speakers in Spain.

  14 million? Accordingo to this: http://www.caib.es/conselleries/educacio/dgpoling/user/catalaeuropa/castella/castella7.pdf http://www.caib.es/conselleries/educacio/dgpoling/user/catal... (sorry, spanish) there are around 7 million Catalan speakers in all europe (including Spain, Andorra, France and Italy). Your argument holds, still. Indeed, I'm pretty sure most content is available in Catalan here in Spain. I would be more worried about the italian ones, or even the french.

    Wikipedia says 11.5 million, but the point is that even at this scale, they are still treated as an edge case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language I'm sure there are other examples, but the general rule should be that language is a preference and not geographically forced.

Or you could just not watch it? It's not like your life would be worse off or there aren't alternative culture you could consume.
