I've always tried to pursue legal avenues for media content. As an UK expat I understand the woes described quite acutely.

I recently subscribed to the BBC iPlayer global. Bitterly disappointed. You are restricted to watching the content on the iPad (no Airplay to APTV). Not sure then why I own a fucking widescreen tv. Idiots.

Not to mention that you can't download the iPlayer Global from the UK Apple store where the vast majority of UK expats have their iTunes account. You have to use the local store. Great when it is in German and won't accept your UK credit card.

Really, how hard are you trying to stop me giving you money? Here's money, take it. Um, you need to jump through 15 million effing hoops first and then you can give us your money. Astonishing...
