    “This show is not available in your country” is the one that pisses me off the most. The Internet connects the entire world and then we have unnecessary artificial barriers like georestriction for no reason. There’s foreign shows I’ve been wanting to watch but they’re not available on torrents and only on these georestricted platforms so I can’t even watch it even if I’m willing to pay (which I am for few films).

      its annoying but a carry over from film distribution rights that are negotiated. I agree these should have been updated by now , and region locks make no sense, unless a government is trying to control its people’s media.
