| You're comparing apples and oranges. Apple doesn't provide anything like YouTube. If they did, they would have similar issues - there are all sorts of legal and business constraints associated with that kind of service. A more appropriate comparison would be comparing the iTunes movie and TV store with Google's equivalent (Google Play Movies & TV): * Both have movie purchases in over 100 countries. Apple has TV purchases in 6 countries [1]. Google has them in 8 [2] * Both allow offline download of purchased videos. Google also allows downloading purchases to SD cards (less relevant for Apple). * Google has a web-based player for purchased videos. Apple doesn't, AFAIK. * Apple has carrier billing in 6 countries [3]. Google has it in 45 [4]. Google also allows you to use PayPal in a number of countries.
