International content licensing is a pain in the arse. It is ridiculously hard for a content producer to sell their content globally due to different licensing, censorship and other costly rules. It provides no real function other than to generate the Governments more money (or, in a case like China's, maintain total control on all the content).
It sucks arse for me because it means I cannot watch the Colbert Report in the UK. I can still watch the Daily Show... but that's like fries without mayo. You'll take 'em, but you'll cry at night about it.
