I am getting so sick of this North American lockout! Dr. Horrible, the new internet show that I have been promoting all week with their banners. I have blogged about it. I am proud to support a show that is pushing into the brave frontier of internet broadcasting! Yeah, all sounds good doesn’t it? Fuck that!
I just went to the site to stream this puppy’s first episode only to find out that it is only available for US viewers! What the crap!?!?! Aren’t we supposed to be doing it the new media way? Streaming for free for all to see? Why is it restricted for us Australian fans?
Joss, please explain. If it was produced by some big network and they were doing an international roll out I could almost understand (I wouldn’t agree, but I would understand), but this is Joss and a few friends. This was an experiment to show what could be achieved online … wasn’t it? And online is international … isn’t it?
I am very disappointed and Joss’ request not to pirate it may have just been the most stupid thing he could request because if we don’t pirate it, how will we be able to watch it.
Sorry Joss, I’m off to find a torrent and then I think I may have to take the banners off my site because it feels like false advertising.
UPDATE: I just followed the link again because I wanted to see who the server was and now I don’t get the message about not being available outside of the US, it plays! What the hell is going on?
