It's like you guys can't even hear yourselves talk. You keep saying, "In this world that I imagine in my head, if things had worked out differently and the US would have developed flying cars before cobblestone, you would easily see what a waste of money roads are. Imagine where else we could have spent money if we didn't have roads!"

If you put words in other peoples mouths rather than attempt to understand what they are actually saying, that is known as a strawman argument and is a well-known fallacy.

In Poland due to hackers attack on Bitcurex.pl (6 hours ago) we had a wall with a price ~1400$ for 20 min Smiley Smiley

Fundamentally, the internet removes the need for a person to conduct business (work, commerce) at the same location as their physical presence. The only reason this hasn't changed things in a fundamental way is that the old fogeys who want us to have a physical presence in the office where they can keep a beady eye on us need to die off.

This is very true - I am at home now, as are many of my staff who work from anywhere in the world in many different time zones.

With the internet, my small local business has now become (effectively) global and indeed my own small company sells on most continents via digital delivery.

I do have an office, but it is only as a base for occasional face to face meetings with permanent staff - I could not fit more than a few people in though.

The business model was unthinkable not so long ago and it is very much revolutionary.  Any and every company's market (and every employee) is now able to sell their labour or goods worldwide - if they have some basic skills to use the fantastic opportunities available through simply having access to the internet.

UK only  Sad but the guy has a load of other vids Smiley Thanks.
VPN bro. Its worth a watch.
Seriosly, fuck this geofencing shit! Why do I need to bother with proxies and shit? I hope those media companies die in a fire. Fuck! Even if I lived there, I would not see any of their adverts, because that shit is blocked. Not cool, man.
Its the BBC, so there arent any ad's, thats kinda the point - the brits pay tv tax for it, so why should anyone else get to watch it for free who hasnt paid?  (thats the govt sentiment, not mine -before you shoot me down!)
So the taxpayers get to pay more tax to afford the extra development so that they can stop everyone else from watching what's already been paid for... Genius!
Is the UK government position that if it is made and advertised in the UK it is worthless elsewhere?  Why wouldn't they export their media and let non UK folks pay (either with ads or whatever) they don't like exporting?

Governments are so silly sometimes.

It's not that.

The BBC licenses programmes (and their contents) for UK only for domestic programmes. If they were to release them worldwide, they would have to pay more to the parties involved for a worldwide license - which is not justified for a show intended for domestic use only.

The BBC does have stuff it makes for worldwide exposure - and sells it.  

However, it makes no sense to pay more for worldwide rights clearance for stuff that has no real market outside the UK (even if it turns out to be very good).

One more thing:  the BBC makes these decisions, not the UK govenrnment.

This all makes perfect sense if you know enough about what is going on.

Decentralize everything

So the taxpayers get to pay more tax to afford the extra development so that they can stop everyone else from watching what's already been paid for... Genius!

No "we" pay tax so that its made at all. Its not like an on demand model where they make the show either way and then recoup costs from selling the show. Its a whole set of channels that is run on TV licensing funds and by receiving terrestrial TV it is presumed you are also watching the BBC.

Obviously its bollocks and complete daylight robbery and most people, myself included, dont pay it. Theres nothing they can do about it as they cant prove your watching TV. Funny this came up actually as not paying TV licence is about to do decriminalized here.

Wow, I didn't know they are finally thinking about changing that law - thanks for the heads-up.
