Blocking content on a region based criteria sucks for everyone not living in the US. Why can you guys watch some video clips and we can’t? We just have to download them illegally?
And the fingerprinting does have its use too. Take Last.fm. Every song I have in my library gets “scrobbled” after which its smart enough to identify the composer & song name. A great way to keep track of what you’re playing. It was only a matter of time until this can be done for videos.
