Why are Australians expected to pay higher prices than our overseas counterparts to rent or buy entertainment from digital services? Why do companies who own the local rights to programs like Game of Thrones restrict audience’s access to alternate payment models? For a long time Australia's geographic location and a relatively disperse population has delayed access to internationally made films and television. It’s also contributed to the higher prices we pay for movie tickets, DVDs and Blu-rays. However, even with the arrival of video-on-demand services, prices are high and release dates still delayed. Who is responsible, and are their actions driving Australia's high rates of piracy?
