I wish they'd go after "This content is unavailable in your region/country" from any provider. If I want to pay a French provider to watch a French show while in Portugal I should be able to etc. etc. The number of times I come across "digital rights" related restrictions on what I can and cannot watch is ridiculous.

I'm literally trying to give companies money and being turned away.


Yeah, it's really weird. And it's not like "treat the whole EU as one big thing" is a new and novel concept either. :(
