I ignore Europe as a preventative conversation tactic. It's really hard to talk about things on the internet. For any debate there are a ton of edge cases. It's easy for discussions to go off the rails focusing on them. Content not available. Average income of Country X significantly less than Country Y. Bandwidth caps. Unstable connection. Etc etc.
So for discussion sake I throw it out. Not permanently, just for a moment. It lets me focus on the good ol United States. Where people are relatively rich and the vast majority of content is available. Basically it's a best case scenario. If in the absolute base case people still heavily pirate content then the edge cases don't matter. Once that best case scenario is resolved then you can start fleshing out and covering all the international edge cases.
