Netflix does this (the service, not the fork), too bad it is still unavailable in many countries.



And its catalog is limited, too, even in the US.


I have a Netflix US account (over VPN, since I live outside the US), and after all the coverage it had gotten, I was really disappointed with the catalog. A lot of the shows my girlfriend was hoping to watch are unavailable, and the movie catalog is also extremely restricted.


The lack of Netflix in Australia really frustrates me. Id pay for it gladly and happily, but I can't, despite living in a first world country that has a very high amount of discretional spending (consider we pay twice what everyone else does, taking into account exchange rates, for software) and the highest rate of copyright infringement in first world countries. Sigh.
