All those none BBC UK channels that show US/Canadian/Aussie shows? Well they paid cash money to for those broadcast rights. And if you can just stream them from a original producers website then who's going to watch them on the telly? And it works in both directions. I won't get to see the latest season of Dr. Who, Merlin, Being Human, or Primeval until 6 months after you.
