Example: Game of Thrones S1 was shown on Norwegian TV(nrk) in january/february. I watched it. I liked it. S2 is coming out in the US now, it won't come here for at least 6 months. No way am I going to wait for it, why on earth would I? I'll download it now, then watch it again when it comes on TV as a build-up for S3(assuming there will be one). If there was a way for me to buy it, I would do so. Since there isn't, I'm forced to piracy.

And don't get me started on how football rights are chopped up.....

What actually upset me was not being able to watch The Almighty Johnsons, which is a New Zealand show about four bothers who happen to the mortal incarnations of Gods. First series has just finished here, second series is half way through over there. It wouldn't be so bad, but they only do ten episodes a series.
