Why don't legal video streaming TV sites allow viewers from outside their country?

I feel sorry for all of these people from around the world who can't watch U.S. or Canadian shows at legal sites!

Does anyone know for sure why this is so?

I have been guessing that they haven't figured out a way to run commercials for other countries yet so they just block everyone outside the U.S. and Canada out.

But does anyone know for sure?
