Or Hulu, who doesn't create any content of their own....
Or... well you get the point.
I've never understood this small minded, miserly point of view for essentially "free" content. If you're doing a staged, paid release of an IP you own, sure. But NBC (for example) provides this content for free on the airwaves and its website (in the continental US, 'natch). They're not making any immediate money off of it and even counting future compilation DVD sales, they're not doing themselves anyy favours by blacking out their content. I'm sure not going to by a comp specifically for this clip, but if I know it was on one (and knowing how funny it was because I'd seen it on the internet) might induce me. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to widen your audience rather than limit it based on national "boundaries"? What if I'm an America ex-pat trying to catch up on my tv? Does cutting me off because I'm abroad make any sense? Why would I tune in / pay for your content / see your movie when I get home? I probably won't.
This is what happens when you let lawyers be in charge of intellectual property.
Provided for free, but unavailable to people outside the US. Take the time to think about someone's comment before you write a diatribe in response.
