Why? I honestly cannot find a rational explanation for business' to turn away cash paying customers.

It's enough for readers to turn to the 'dark side' or else to quietly put a curse on said business.

Quietly cursing.
I totally agree!

Not books-related, but youtube gets more and more annoying.

1. A friend posts a video in facebook or here in the listening thread - I can't open it. I can't even see it's name, cause after clicking it it disappears. Well, seaching the link in google (or F5) spills out the performer and the title.
I go and search these in youtube - as expected, it's all there, just a different upload. Never, I mean NEVER was I unable to find the same video available. So the question is, why the stupid restrictions????!!!

2. Even more annoying, when you watch a video there is a list of similar/connected/whatever videos on the right side. But not all of them are available in my country. So, why do the advertise them to me, just so I can click and enjoy the "video not available in your country" sign?
