If you have not yet worked out the world-wide rights, don't put it on the world freaking wide web! Geez! I have no problems using an IP scrambler in cases like that to access content that they are waving right in front of my face and then arbitrarily not letting me see.

exactly !!!!! criminy !!!!
i think the problem is we need to completely get over conceptions of rights limited by such arbitrary variables as geographical borders. those have very little (if any) meaning in today's technological environment. WORLD-WIDE web ! as i said before,
it's right there in the name !!!
