Most of what people take for granted in the US is not available in Europe. Here in Switzerland, the only way to reliably and legally get a Movie in its original language is buying a physical DVD or BluRay.
There are no TV shows in iTunes, we have no iTunes Match, there are only localized movies in iTunes; until very recently, there were only Gutenberg books in iBooks.
Until last week, there was no Spotify (or any other legal music streaming service).
There's no Netflix, no Hulu and TV stations are showing episodes of TV series that aired around three years earlier in the US. Aside of iTunes, there's no legal video on demand service.
Heck, I can't even buy most of the audiobooks I want on Audible or anywhere else. They still want me to buy them on CDs (and I will not buy 48 hours of Peter F. Hamilton on CDs and then rip them myself).

And then they wonder why people pirate content :/
