Over on TMZ.com, my online guilty pleasure, you can view videos of stars doing stupid things in front of their favorite coke dens nightclubs. Perez Hilton wants someone to eat his vomit! Cool!

But they’ve started to close their video borders to the world. A direct link to Joey Fatone jokingly taking a camera from a paparazzi is blocked to us Non-Americans for reasons not explained to us. You get this notice:

THE VIDEO YOU ARE TRYING TO WATCH CANNOT BE VIEWED FROM YOUR CURRENT COUNTRY OR LOCATION.

Well! I am sure they sold that particular video to Entertainment Tonight and require that Canadians can’t see this content until Entertainment Tonight Canada pays for it’s licensing. Or some such idiotic loophole.

Don’t despair, if you go to the video list page, you can still see it. Oh AOL funded sites, how I love your ineptitude!

But it’s happening more and more, on all the network sites. There are proxy sites you can see this stuff on (if you really need to) which make these kinds of blocking just annoying, not effective.

Stupid copyright laws.
