Yes, you can if you live in US or UK. Try that in 80% of other countries in the world... It is extremely frustrating to go to my home country(Poland) for Christmas and not being able to use Netflix, not being able to buy any films and practically only have TPB and Usenet as a source of content as if it was 1999 again.
- hakanderyal 13y agoSame in Turkey. Nobody heard of Netflix outside of the tech circle. There is only a handful of movies on iTunes store, not to mention we were finally able to access iTunes store last year. And, there is no way, yes no way, to legally watch T.V. series online. You can buy box sets, when they finally arrive to local stores. Or you can buy them online, but than there is the limitation at customs for only 5 items allowed, per person, per year. I'm tired of shouting 'Shut up and take my money!', but it seems distributors don't care.
- abalashov 13y agoIndeed, I've spent most of the last year and a half in Armenia (and some time in Germany), and have had to come up with elaborate VPN + NAT (for Netflix) / Squid proxy (for Hulu+) setups through the US to get the content I already pay for, with my American Visa, from my American bank, homed to my American address.
