I get it, I get it, artists need to protect their work, etc.
I live in eastern europe and I needed to personally speak to two artists that I like in order to get some of their music. For stupid legal reasons, Amazon MP3 and iTunes can’t work here yet. I’d freaking love to have Hulu or at least to be able to watch the new video from some popular artist on YouTube but no, they restrict it only to the US or wherever.
So for popular artists and TV shows, I can either order expensive shows in dvd format online (with large shipping costs), or use bittorrent. For minor content makers that are not popular on trackers I have to personally ask them to send me copies.
