Of course, tastes are different. Some people are fine with whatever they can watch on cable TV. But if you want to read or watch something available in other languages or in other country, then the absurdity of the control becomes clearly evident. Often piracy just fills the gap of the market failure.

Yes I'm sure it's different in many places like that, unfortunately you aren't OWED access to entertainment. This
isn't a civil right. The point can't be more basic.

Been there, done that. So often they simply don't ship to Latvia at all. And when you have something less popular than BSG then it is a game of pure luck. Besides, who uses DVDs anymore when everyone has fast internet connection.
Some guys circumvent georestrictions by VPN connection to watch US Netflix subscription. It is still considered piracy but it also proves that at least in some cases it is not about getting free stuff.

Yes if it's less popular/common you are more likely to pay a premium. The same way it's been forever in every single possible application. I do find many georestrictions idiotic though.
