Bugger. Real issue here. Typical american attitude really p's me off. I realise they are the biggest of the media centres globally but still to make it all about america is just a joke.

Getting ever more difficult to find decent/stable sites and wouldnt even use them if the media companies would allow me to watch the programs on their own streaming site but you click onto them and they tell you you are outside the united states so not allowed to watch.

WTF do they expect then.

Are you upset because you are going to find it difficult to access, without paying for, media content that was created for financial profit?
Damn right.

I have no problem paying for media which is why i apy for music downloads.

Problem is i cant do so easily as all the american networks prevent me from streaming or downloading from their websites and oddly a lot of the shows etc that i am a fan of are on american tv. I am too impatient to wait for them to hit uk tv so stream instead.

I am also as a side note slightly concerned about where all this coud be going.
