Mapping the International Availability of Entertainment Services

- bowlofpetunias 12y agoI wonder if anybody who has ever implemented that dreadful phrase "not available in your country" has considered the long term impact of such a notice? I mean, if you get refused entry to a shop or restaurant or any place of business with the words "we don't serve your kind here", would you ever return and spend your money there?
- forrestthewoods 12y agoWhat a ridiculous analogy. "Not available in your country" isn't personal. It's not racist or unethically discriminatory. Spotify wasn't available in the United States for quite a long time. I saw the "not available in your country" sign and sadly walked away. When it was finally available you know what I said? "Sweet! I've been waiting for this! Yay!" Because why would I not be excited to finally be able to use the thing I wanted to use? What is the actual long term impact? Every day you aren't available in another country is another day a competitor has to get there first. Wait too long and you'll miss your opportunity. That's pretty much it.
