YouTube offers full-length showsPosted Monday 13th October 2008 23:22 GMT
Maybe it does, but whats the point for us UK users
any ep of any show from CBS's youtube channel is greeted with:
This video is not available in your country.
boo! no wonder people prefer torrents....

If UK users were allowed to watch MacGyver, they'd learn to get around YouTube's region lock with a half book of matches and a bit of string. It's a slippery slope my friend.

There are channels on sattelite/cable here that are still rerunning that last I checked, unless they're only just running it I'm a little young to tell at 24 :P
Nice try though.

How is it that an NBC show ends up on CBS' web site?
Black Helis because it sounds like a conspiracy.

The South Park website has a similar restriction on only allowing US downloaders.
In honour of the recent Anonymous hack of Sarah Palin, I have therefore taken to using ctunnel.com's fine service to access it, since I don't give a stuff if anyone traces me back, but it sure does exit in the US!
Yarrrrr!

If I want to watch those shows in the UK (which I don't) I'd just download them from torrents and feel guilt free. Sure, they won't have any adverts in, but given the fact that I'm tight enough to download torrents in the first place, it won't make much difference to their overall sales figures. Wait...I think I put some circular logic in there somewhere.
