Not so world wide web

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 'www' stand for Worldwide Web?

Yes of course it does.

So why is some content on the web off limits?

It's not the UK web or the USA web it's the Worldwide bloody web.


I understand there are copyright issues and similar restrictions but surely there must be a way to allow people from any country to watch other country's television programs?

Anyone got any ideas? Apart from Bit-torrent that is!
