You are not operating in the best interest of your business by limiting your videos to American citizens only. There are 6 Billion potential viewers who could be helping you out and sharing your content, but according to your current business strategy only the some-odd million in America are worthy of the privilege of watching your shows. GET OVER YOURSELVES. If the issue is protecting the copyright of your content, there are other ways to protect yourselves from that and the cost to implement them would be nothing compared to the profit you’d earn from allowing international streaming. Instead you decide that being in the United States means you must adopt the traditional Western self-centered mentality and keep all the content to yourselves. Seriously, you’re losing customers - even if you someday decided to make your site international I would likely not use it because of how badly you’ve screwed Canada and the rest of the world over already. All I want to do is watch SNL (and probably other stuff too, depending what you’ve got) but apparently I’m not allowed. Now I hear you plan on making your current viewers pay a subscription in order to watch? I repeat: GET OVER YOURSELVES.
