"This video is not available in your country. Sorry about that." No problem. The Pirate Bay is still available in my country.

Now, I'm surprised. My country is supposed to be the one that has to always encounter, "Not available in your Country." But these movies are available in Indian Rupee and they're cheap. ₹100 ($1.63) for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I'm India. :-)

  Captain America is listed at AU$19.99 here (US$18.56)... It's not clear whether you're "buying" or "renting" at that price on the index. If I click on a buy button, it gives me a message about a Google+ account page and won't let me proceed. Google's account arrangement is absolutely terrible.

    It's been one singular account across their entire system for well over a year now. C'mon.

      I get an error stating that I can't use my Youtube account, I have to use my Gmail account. When I do that, it automatically creates another Youtube account for me. Or something like that. I've given up on understanding their accounts logic, it's hard enough to keep up with the changes to the player and site.

        You can link your old youtube account to your gmail account.

        Yes, that's why I now have approximately 4 youtube accounts.

      I still have... 1) My university Google Apps account, with which I cannot use most services. 2) My employer's Google Apps, fully functional but will be dead at the end of the summer. 3) My personal GMail account.

        And now you can switch between all of them on the fly easily, and anytime you're logging in on one or could be using Google's OAuth it provides a page to select which ID you'd like to use.

      It's more confusing than that in my experience. I have to use incognito windows to stay signed into my calendar, Google Apps for Business email, Analytics, AdSense, etc without confusing it. Otherwise it will sign me out of my email regularly. When I tried to find out the details of that video, it said I couldn't do it with the Google account I was using and to switch to a different account (and it knew what that account was).

    Clicking on Captain America (in the UK) led to a video preview which says 'buy' rather than 'rent', which is strange as Youtube seems like it'd be better suited to a rental market.

      I remember reading somewhere that the decision as to what's available for rent vs purchase is made by each movie's production company. I can't find where I read that now so I could be wrong or maybe someone who knows more could pop in.
