Re:The Pirate Bay is trialing high-quality video streaming

I'm in Austria, so iTunes doesn't have any TV shows at all, and for movies it's hit and miss. Two films I recently looked for and didn't find are "Tank Girl" and "Waking Life", not really any special. I just checked again and apparently Tank Girl is on Amazon Prime! So maybe I'll watch that tonight :)
It's also really bad with kids shows. Netflix and Amazon have a lot of them, but the selection keeps changing, and once something disappears from the streaming catalog it's often gone for good (ie. you can't get it for download anymore either). For one show (Lego Chima) I ended up buying used DVDs because I couldn't find it anywhere to download / stream in German. I have no idea how it makes any business sense to stop selling a TV show just because it's a couple of years old.

Amazon Prime in the U. S. has Tank Girl because it’s currently on my “rewatch soon” list. Granted, that means jack in Australia, but maybe worth a look.
