This is part of why I pirate stuff. I spent a few years as a nomad, and the amount of shit you have to deal with when moving country is ridiculous. It's fine if you're just on holiday and have a consistent country of residence, but actually moving country seems like a total edge case for half the services. Spotify playlists that alter strangely from country to country. Any of the streaming services radically alter their available shows from country to country. Books that you thought you bought on Amazon suddenly disappear from your Kindle. And, of course, the language problem. Most of the services assume that if you live in a country then you speak the major language of that country. I mean, I get it, but they know that I've set my preferences to English in their app. My browser tells them what language I prefer. I don't understand why my IP address overrules all of that. Anyway, all of this goes away if you just pirate it all. You can get what you want, in the language you want, the format you want, and store it on your hard drive so you can play it while offline. It all just gets easier and better. It's got nothing to do with the cost - I'd happily pay for the content, as long as they actually let me own it.
