They region restrict it to the regions they air their programming to. For instance, in NL they have a Comedy Central station, so I have access to some of their programming.
After all, they pay the same taxe... no, that's not it...

Only exception is, that we overseas people don't get to see the blanked out 'doodle', but we do get to see the call to action below the search bar. Even when going to google.com/ncr

It's always a game of give and take, they want eternal copyrights, then we should go for no copyrights. and meet somewhere in the middle.
Preferably at 15 years of opt-out-able copyrights, after those 15 years, you can extend it by 5 years at a cost (increasing each term), giving the content creator an incentive to sell the work.
Also, copyright should no longer be transferable, copyright holders are the content creators.
Their trolling offices are shut for the week. They are outside now, unfamiliar to the bright light of the sun/clouded sky, huddled in corners waiting till the holiday season is over, so that they can get back to their desks and become intarwebs heroes once more.

You'd think that that'd be the default behaviour, after all they voted him in democratically as their representative.
