Why Watching DVDs on Linux is Illegal in the USA
Equally weird is that watching PBS content online is blocked if you're not physically sitting in America.  For those who don't know, PBS is a US non-profit TV network, partially funded by the federal government and to varying degrees the states.  Yet their website actively blocks would-be viewers outside the US, including US citizens (who are required to pay US taxes wherever they live).<p>Oh, and when I took my Korean-made but US-bought TV to the UK, guess what?  Its Netflix feature stopped working completely.<p>Whether buying a DVD or streaming video online, I'm tired of not getting what I pay for.
