I think it may have to do with advertising targeting different regions. If they're advertising something you can't buy in your country, then what is the advertiser paying for?

Still, they can change the ad - based on your IP address. No, it's up to the content owners. Luckily i've found a workaround: http://www.labnol.org/internet/video/youtube-blocked-video-n...

Sure, but that assumes they have ads or ad providers for your region. What if they don't? Then who pays for it?

Just a guess, really.
