I dont usually agree with Region Control at all but in the case of the BBC iPLayer it makes a little more sense. The BBC is funded by the Tax Payer so everyone in Britain gets free access to iPlayer, though one could argue we deserve more access to the BBC's content, since we are paying for the content. This is a different situation than the company who produce, for example, "The Corbert Report" limiting the free streaming on their website to US only since they are getting funded by the Ad revenue of the viewers which non-us viewers could potentially be a part of unlike the BBC which is essentially "pre-payed" content so to provide free access to it worldwide would be unfair for those people who have paid to access it. Though I do think BBC Worldwide should do some sort of Streaming service with ad's like Hulu and Youtube's "TV Shows".

This makes sense, people are always wanting proof that aliens are among us.

Apologies I forgot to mention that in the original post. I read it as a part of an IGN article. Source: http://uk.xboxlive.ign.com/articles/109/1096446p1.html

Apparently the "Update" for Crazy Taxi involves removing the original soundtrack, for me that separates it from the iconic memories I have of the game. This "Update" means that its not the game I remember playing as a kid so this "update" is not something im interested in. Though the idea of playing Dreamcast games on current consoles, if they arent "Updated" in a similar fashion them im totally in.

Its hard to have an American site on the Internet especially when most of the content affects people all around the world.

Im all for this idea, hopefully it will go some way towards people seeing Video Games as another medium the same as a film or book. It was only a few years ago that my local library started lending out DVDs (with a price but one much smaller than a rental store) and I know that at least in the beginning it brought in some young people to rent DVD's and it gave a small trickle over to the lending of books.

I personally love consuming Star Trek but I dont think we need another Star Trek show on TV, even though im in the minority liking Voyager and Enterprise as well as the rest. I have enough trek goodness to last me a long time with all the fan productions like Hidden Frontier and the audio drama's such as Star Trek Excelsior. If they really must do another series then ill surely watch it but id rather they give money to a fan production and some help and then enjoy that goodness over the internet with some sort of advertising attached to it to cover costs.
