It's not quite all utter rubbish.
There is a good example in this Country how a lot of other countries operate all the time.
HBO just licenced content to Virgin and to BT within the same week. They didn't say OK you can have it but you over there can't. I'm presuming as long as the company stumped up the cash then they could have a license.
Over here 9 times out of 10 one licence is given based on having exclusive rights and that's it, leaving people who can't gain access to that system without that program.
In other Countries you can pretty much watch what you want, wherever you are, as long as you are prepared to pay.
