So yeah. I'm very annoyed by the general localization of consumer media like music and television. Why does stuff air in the US six months before it airs in the rest of the world? Say I wanna watch an episode of House, or Glee, or any other show on a US network. I can't because the newest seasons doesn't air here in Europe for at least six months. I remember The Big Bang Theory being finished for a couple of weeks last spring but season 4 was still airing here in Norway. Why can't everything be broadcast at roughly the same time? Same goes with music. Rihannas Talk That Talk is out in some European countries on iTunes but not in the US, UK and several other countries. Come on it's 2011... This is not what we expect in this modern digital age.
If the networks/recording companies can't broadcast on the TV internationally/sell records, then at least let Apple remove TV localization on iTunes. We only JUST got movies available. Same goes for Netflix, Hulu and everything else that's online.
Is it a legal matter? Are "licenses to broadcast" that difficult to get? I honestly can't see it being that much of an issue.
