This is sadly also true for the Nordic countries. There's a bunch of contenders in the streaming business and huge pushes for cable-TV from the major broadband providers. The sad part is that most services are utter crap and suffer from huge technical problems, consumer unfriendly subscription models, horribly implemented localisation and a serious lack of content. Netflix is reasonably good and their own series are more or less worth the 8€ subscription fee. Finnish Netflix compared to the US version costs 25% more for <25% of the content of the US version.
It isn't too difficult to access the US version of Netflix, but doing so reliably requires a VPN connection which I am not willing to pay for. And it's technically equally illegal as the piratebay and more of a hassle to get it to work with my chromecast/plex/xmbc.
This is sadly a really old problem. Noone is currently selling film/TV-series content to a reasonable price that could even look at competing with the piratebay/piratism. Heck, todays services can't compete with piratism from ten years ago.
