Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Need an editor? now international distribution.

Yes Utube can be considered, but product is limited (unless you like cats), Netflix, in 1 or 2 countries, Amazon I am not aware of their availability, iTunes just works. There are some programs, you just can't get, an example of this is "Newsroom", I do not know anyway to get this program outside of the US (other than a spoof account). The real frustration is when something is announced in the US with no statement regarding its limited distribution.
