Okay, I get that you want to show Sherlock in the UK before it airs in the US, but really? Those in England got to see it on 1/1/2012 and those in the States have to wait until 5/6/2012 on PBS. My DVR doesn’t go out that far.
It’s been nearly one and a half years since the first season – which is plenty of time to work out any of the licensing issues required for a simultaneous airing wherever. Delaying or staggering releases only encourages piracy.
I’m tempted to find a way to purchase the Euro-centric region DVD when it is released and then find a way to play it. Meh.
So you’re basically complaining about the issue the rest of the world has when we want to watch US shows?
