For me, understanding and accepting the answer to this question was an important step to understanding the difference between pure technology and business.

And even in a technologist's utopia where there were no local legal/cultural/language differences between countries, on a pure technology level you'd need to provision server capacity for new locales.

For me, understanding but not accepting the answer to this question was an important step in my moral argument for pirating movies.

I am strongly against piracy, but I am even more strongly agains restrictive, profit-driven, privacy and freedom-trampling business models and legal systems.
