I'm highly conflicted on copyright law. I believe if they've made a movie they have the right to distribute it in whatever countries they want, whenever they want. They've put this together pretty damn quick too, I think they deserve a break. In fact they're hoping to expand the available countries to at least Canada in a day or two [1]. They probably already have distribution deals in place around the world (let's not forget the movie was only getting a US cinema release tomorrow originally) and those are probably limiting the VOD options.
As for copyright in general - extended copyright laws are nuts. I personally think it's fair for someone to have copyright until they die (no passing it on to relatives etc.). Also, it's a unpopular opinion here, but I consider piracy theft. And I'm not saying that to be morally superior - I've pirated lots of stuff but I consider it theft and wrong.
