Geo-location restrictions for a paid service is a nonsense that
only a<br>
marketing idiot could devise.<br>
Imagine a genuine, paid up, Netflix account holder who flies to
almost<br>
anywhere from his/her current location, and discovers that their
account<br>
is effectively blocked due to geo-location tracking.<br>
Hulu already does this, and Netflix is not far behind.<br>
With this kind of nonsense going on at the behest of Hollywood, it
is no wonder<br>
that users choose to circumvent geo-location tracking by assorted
means.<br>
<br>
Youtube has obviously been hit by "take down" requests for much of
its music<br>
as most of the stuff I see is of the bootleg recordings at live
concerts rather than<br>
the original copy put up by Joe Bloggs from his DVD 4 years ago.<br>
And that is fair. I have no problem at all with that.<br>
<br>
But what intrigues me is that I can watch local artists who are well
known, in<br>
music videos put up by the <u>record company</u>, but sending a
link to a friend<br>
overseas renders a "unavailable in this country" message.<br>
Which is completely illogical. If it is free here, why is it
restricted somewhere else?<br>
Surely "free", is "free"? .<br>
<br>
There is something completely insane in the way Hollywood and the
record companies<br>
are attempting to divide and conquer the world, when actually, all
they seem to be<br>
doing is alienating us all.<br>
<br>
They will 'reap what they sow" as a consequence. And Pirate Bay
& its ilk will continue in some<br>
form or another to accommodate the alternative. <br>
No matter how much money the Hollywood lawyers are paid.<br>
The law of supply and demand in a marketplace is not complicated.<br>

Sony don't need Netflix to help them with Internet
distribution, they've got<br>
quite the deal going with PRNK (or belligerent
ex-employees, depending on<br>
who you prefer to believe).<br>

I tend to think of "solution" as just a pretentious
term for "thingy".<br>
Doing that word substitution in my head makes IT
marketing literature<br>
somewhat more tolerable.<br>
