4oD programming is only available to residents of the UK and the 
Republic of Ireland. The programme rights we hold are limited to these 
geographic regions and it is illegal for us to allow them to be 
downloaded elsewhere.

If they only have publishing rights for some regions, they can't free 
them :S
