The same with hulu.com and comedy central; they only allow streaming to US IP addresses. Something to do with exclusive rights in other countries. Eventually they'll sign a deal for Aus, but until that time we'll have to use a proxy right? Would anyone know of a good US/UK proxy so we can spoof a foreign IP address? I found one by googling "proxy" but i can't find one which works anymore.
