cccc however

The world at our fingertips

Last week, rather than drive to your video store I decided to book Life of Pi from The amazon online marketplace. I found it, clicked to order, and received the following concept: ''We could not process your order due to geographical restrictions on the supplement that you were attempting to purchase.''

Performed they really mean to offence me by saying that cccc I possibly could not rent this flick because of where I live? Surely not necessarily, I thought, perhaps the real motive is that the movie has not been introduced into video stores yet. Not so, it was released to help cinemas in September this past year, to US video stores in March this year and to Melbourne video stores in Might this year. Stumped, I improved into the car, drove to your store and rented this DVD.

A month earlier, I wanted to cccc buy a book from the Apple iTunes store. I found it, have the purchasing process, but at the last step had been told: ''Item not available. The item you've got requested is not currently available from the Australian store, but comes in the cccc US store.''

In today's electronic age, where there is no meaningful cost difference or work to supply electronic movies in addition to books globally, why is it that Australia residents have fewer liberties than US residents? Whatever reason might argue for cost cccc differences and geographical syndication restrictions for printed guides and physical DVDs only does not apply to their electric counterparts. Apple and The amazon website are powerful companies inside of a connected world, it is therefore challenging to see why they allow themselves being subject to the old fashioned, protectionist insurance plans of their suppliers.
