HBO on Youtube Blocking Australia?

Labels:

I have just been informed by someone, and checked it out for myself, that Australia appears to be blocked from watching some of the HBO Boxing youtube clips. See for yourself: Link

Quite a few of the boxing highlights such as 'Miguel Cotto's Greatest Hits' and 'Oscar De la Hoyas Greatest Hits' come up as "video not available in your country".


I can only guesstimate that this has to do with some type of licensing laws?

Fortunately I don't like boxing, but that still blows.
