i mean, what else should i do when half of the content i want to watch "isn't available to stream in my area"
Yeah, same with music. So often I want to give my damn money to artists by buying albums, but "not available in your country". If I go to UK or DE store, I get "your card is not local", even though it's not an issue with 99% other products. Come on.
Most of the money doesn't even reach the artists. So better pirate all music online and support artists more directly at their shows, through their shops, by donation or whatever.
Sure, that's what I do. But it's still amazing that greed driven labels are setting hurdles themselves to get the money. And ocassionally I can't find some rare versions in the seas, so still would like to just pay.
