This is the first time I've been unable to view a video abroad, and now I understand what it's like for everyone internationally who can't see MTV online! @neuro Thanks for your ongoing astuteness — I'd love to know what Pendulum's reaction to this was.

The BBC will probably have live and time limited replay rights to that content. That it's up on YouTube thanks to the artist themselves may not matter if they simply pulled the video as aired rather than using video created using their own cameras. It's messy, yes, but that's what happens when you mix large media entities, large record labels and multiple content delivery systems :) As for region-specific lockdowns wrt iPlayer and other BBC video, well, y'know, we've already paid for that via the television licence, and, um, you haven't :) Although in practice it's rights holders who have requested that content licensed to the BBC can only be aired/played to those able to receive the BBC's domestic broadcasts. The Beeb hate it just as much as the rest of us do, as those rights packages can exclude online delivery too, thus denying online catchup playback.
