ELI5: Why that TV clip is not available in my country

Seriously. Why does SNL or the daily show not want to show me their stuff or advertize to me. I can understand them not actively seeking to advertize since I'm not in America, but why do they *actively* block videos outside the US?

Because TV shows are licensed for use on a country by country basis. If some network in your country has paid for the right to air SNL there, they'd get pretty upset if someone could watch it for free somewhere else.
