Can we make a deal not to post content that says

“This video not available in your country or domain”

when I click on it, please?

This includes basically anything on Hulu. I’ve never encountered this with a YouTube video before, which makes it all the more frustrating.

This policy would perfectly fit your copyleft, one-internet-indivisible-under-the-EFF-and-Saint-Cory line, I think. It would also stop me smashing expensive computer hardware into the wall in frustration at being kept from seeing obscure Star Wars Anime ephemera … sigh.

Happy New Year to one and all.
