I have that problem myself all the time with www.aftonbladet.se, one of the leading Swedish newspapers. Their Internet activity is second to none of their peers in Europe and they are one of the few of those, who make money on line to compensate for the ever decreasing subscribers and readers of their printed version. They are mostly among the very first to provide a video link to important events world wide - but the content is protected for being broadcasted in Sweden only for license reasons: When I click on a link, they first give me those 15 secs commercial - and then NADA! 'Not allowed for distribution in your geographic area'... I find it infuriating. What really annoyed me is how passive my German friends were about it. Americans would be screaming their bloody heads off.
