Episode description

"Sorry, you are not where we want you to be." Perhaps you have already heard this from your favorite streaming service during your last trip out of the country. How is it that the streaming services ONLY honor your subscription in the predetermined geographic location that they choose? Didn't you buy it? Why can't your favorite shows travel with you? You paid for them! Mark Stross explains Digital Rights Management (DRM) and how it can ruin your next holiday, and why we need a Digital Bill of Rights to protect our rights to content in this global age.
