"unfortunately.. GEMA ..Germany."  :D

I'm just amazed that the government lets you browse OWG.  After all, they might not like the look, layout or color of our theme.  ????

hah, that's the beauty of it: They (our politicians) proclaim freedom (as in no censoring) of the internet and indeed do not want to (well, and actually can't) prohibit access to the open world internet. They condemn countries like China for limiting access to and censoring content of the world wide web. On an aside, we are the country with the most laws on this planet. Laws that grant ownership and guarantee copyright protection regarding intellectual property. That includes music. The biggest company for that music business copyright "problem" is GEMA and you know what that means -- we're talking about it because of it. :-D

So it's not our country but economic interests in a world of capitalism.

Basically it's your country's company Google (youtube being part of it) versus our country's company GEMA. It's just all about money.

Always is; if it were more profitable to offer something for free then it would be "no charge"

Nope, don't remember that one PZ, but I like it :-() Maybe never released here. Any idea what year that was?
