Just a other point of view:
Next week i will have visitors from germany. Last Friday i remembered that i wanted to
show them a movie i'm sure they will love (Wasabi) but it was to late to order it snail mail.
But hey, that's the internet age. I simply buy and download it online.
The first german shops i tried had none of the movies i was looking for. Finally i found one
but: Only customers from Germany, Austria and Swiss are accepted. After some cursing i
decided to take a look at US shops. Great! almost every movie i was looking for was
available.... but then i tried to register.
Sorry.. bla bla... USA only - No cookies for you
Next shop:
Service not available for your country - No cookies for you
Next shop
D'oh blubber D'oh - No cookies for you
I just wonder, getting that movie "for free" with torrent or from rapidshare alikes would be
fast and easy. Are notorious file sharers not causing enough trouble so they have to piss of
those who are willing to pay? Maybe there is simply something wrong with their outdated
business model?
Fortunately the software industry is not that fucked up. For years a bought any prog i
needed online without any problem.
