International Complaint

So I think it's really ridiculous that if you're traveling in a foreign country and you want to watch, say...the last episode of LOST or 30 Rock...abc.com and hulu.com do not let you! They say it's because you have to be in the U.S. on the internet. This doesn't make any sense, why not share the love across the world! Instead I've got to put money into my iTunes piggy bank to watch the dang episodes. So much for fair trade TV!
