Here's a perfect example of what NOT to do on a popular video game blog, posting US-Only videos that screw up your comment system and pissing off your international viewers. Thanks.
For all of us that are frustrated: (To the Tune of, what else, Blame Canada from SouthPark)
Times have changed
The net is full of Shite!
I can't watch any content
From a U.S. based website!
Should we blame their Government?
Or Blame the NBC?
Or should we blame the mother-lovin' FCC?
NO!
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their Degrassi Junior High
and Canadian Content full of lies
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
We have to use a proxy alt, It's Canada's fault.
I blame you, for blocking me
I want to watch cartoons
But I can't find them on Youtube
So just this bloody once
I'd like to watch Hulu by myself
But now when I load it it tells me to fuck myself!
Well.. Blame Canada
Blame Canada
It seems like all my videos
can't be shown where it snows
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
They don't even have real Cable anyway.
I could have watched an episode of House or SVU
Instead I had to watch a clip of Corner Gas and puke.
Should we blame the networks?
Should we blame the States?
Or the companies that charge such massive rates?!
Heck no! Blame Canada
blame Canada
With all that Hockey Night, and Roots
And Don Cherry's awful suits
Blame Canada
Shame on Canadaaaaaaaa...
The stream they must stop
so their content they save
The shows we have stocked
must all be net blocked
We must blame them and cause a fuss
So that these foreigners stop blaming uuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssss!!
I still don't understand why american based media can't be streamed outside that country. What, do they think terrorists are encoding messages into Hulu and Comedy Central feeds? Do they sell these shows for ridiculous prices to foreign cable/satellite provid... oh, haha.
@d_r_e: I'm sure licensing is the answer, but it makes no sense. It makes sense in the case of Netflix, because you're purchasing something... but streaming video? That is free anyway?
@MrBionic: Of course, the more that I now dig into this (trying to answer my own question), the more I'm learning that it's more the result of CANADIAN corporations doing the controlling and blocking...
How's that for egg on the face? God DAMMIT CANADA, you're like the husband that showers me with gifts and love, but quietly hits me now and then, just to show me my place.
My DVR only caught the tail end of that skit, so all I saw was some guy whipping a bat on the ground and I had no idea what was going on. Good to know what I missed, though the episode as a whole this time wasn't as funny as most.

Right.

Licensing is probably the answer to your question. It's why Netflix still isn't available in Europe.

Meh. It just seems so unnecessary and arrogant.
