Now am I most certainly an advocate of piracy, screwing over big corporations that have far more money than consumers etc. And while the unlocking of pointlessly region locked content is great, however as a Brit I am more than a little uncomfortable with iPlayer being made region free.

You see content add-supported content like Hulu is all well and good, nobody is forced to pay for the service, ads get views regardless of where people are watching. But the BBC is not free, it is directly paid for by British licence fee payer, i.e. every British household that owns a TV or radio, i.e. EVERY British household. Essentially I am forced by law to pay £120 a year regardless of whether I watch TV or not, so you can understand how it seems a bit unfair to me when people complain about region locking for iPlayer and how all content is free and universal etc. 99% of the time you would be right, but in this case no, you get an ad-free, top quality service paid for directly by British tax payers, no big corporation gets the middle finger, its just everyday households that supply all of the funding required; in many ways it just feels like people are pirating from the public.

Yes it sucks, but seriously guys, you get BBC America, at least try to understand where I'm coming from here when I try to separate iPlayer from Hulu, Fox, iTV and others.

Also you got Doctor Who a week before us one time, do you have any idea how butthurt we are over that.
