NOTE TO EDITORS: I wrote this article. I am rebooting Free Software Magazine as we speak. If you don't like the idea of me posting here, please let me know and accept my apologies!

This could be done because there was no easy way to copy and store away a movie. If you lived in Italy, you could wait up to two years before you saw a popular movie. Then two things happened: it became easy to copy and store movies; and everybody in the world suddenly became interconnected. The regional segregation has ended [freesoftwaremagazine.com]: the only ones to believe that it's still there are the dinosaurs from a past era.
