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.
