The whole point of even inventing the internet was to bring humanity closer together, not to impose arbitrary restrictions when they become afraid of it. I wouldn't mind if there was a different flavour of the app for Europe and the US, we do have slightly different preferences afterall, but when I simply can't get the content at all because I'm from the wrong country? Isn't that racism or at the very least ethnicism? How many international laws do we have against that hmm? It does matter.

Does it mater? It's up to the author to decide, maybe they want to do different deals, A/B test different app on European audience, etc. >>Why have region restricted copyright when the content is bloody free is … can anyone explain this at all?

Does it mater? It’s up to the author to decide, maybe they want to do different deals, A/B test different app on European audience, etc.
