Fuck Geotagging

 Guess who can't watch Community season 6? This guy. Why? Because I don't live in the U.S. Therefore, I have to priate the show, which means I don't give any money to Yahoo despite wanting to.

 Why the fuck is this even a thing. As John Walker from Rock Paper Shotgun said: "There are no oceans on the internet." So why the fuck does region locking exist? And why is it on FREE FUCKING CONTENT!?

 Seriously. Fuck Yahoo.

Advertising/Sponsoring. If it's free then someone else aside from Yahoo is putting money, and if that is the case then it's targeted at Americans. If they can get Australian sponsors I figure you could get/watch it for free too. At least that's what I've come up with as an answer for such things. It happens here in Canada for the TV buisness where TV shows regardless of where they are from it's required to use canadian commercials when on break.

I guess it makes sense, but it's still a bit ridiculous.

Governments. There's no oceans, but there are political boarders around everything.

If you'd like to bypass internet region locks, install ZenMate if you use Chrome.
