Thanks.

VPN bro. Its worth a watch.

Seriosly, fuck this geofencing shit! Why do I need to bother with proxies and shit? I hope those media companies die in a fire. Fuck! Even if I lived there, I would not see any of their adverts, because that shit is blocked. Not cool, man.

Its the BBC, so there arent any ad's, thats kinda the point - the brits pay tv tax for it, so why should anyone else get to watch it for free who hasnt paid? (thats the govt sentiment, not mine -before you shoot me down!)

So the taxpayers get to pay more tax to afford the extra development so that they can stop everyone else from watching what's already been paid for... Genius!

Is the UK government position that if it is made and advertised in the UK it is worthless elsewhere? Why wouldn't they export their media and let non UK folks pay (either with ads or whatever) they don't like exporting?

Governments are so silly sometimes.

It's not that.

The BBC licenses programmes (and their contents) for UK only for domestic programmes. If they were to release them worldwide, they would have to pay more to the parties involved for a worldwide license - which is not justified for a show intended for domestic use only.

The BBC does have stuff it makes for worldwide exposure - and sells it.

However, it makes no sense to pay more for worldwide rights clearance for stuff that has no real market outside the UK (even if it turns out to be very good).

One more thing: the BBC makes these decisions, not the UK govenrnment.

This all makes perfect sense if you know enough about what is going on.
