Nicely put. The region blocking filter might be a nice compromise for this issue.

Not to make any implications, just being honestly curious here, are there any sites who block videos for the people in the United States or is it all vice versa?

there are still people in charge who don't understand the whole internet tube thingy cause reginal blocking is downright silly. there's always a way around it anyway. i don't see it as much of a problem on VS but then I can watch CC embeds no problemo I understand Canadians are especialy pissed of about that?

I think the BBC has a service that blocks anyone outside of the UK.

Yeah, i've made a few blog posts with their vids not realizing this (they aint directly embeddable anyway), and my 147 blog has a link to a page that might not work if your in the US (or even just not UK) if your curious
