I mean honestly I just bought a VPN connection. Costs me $45 a year and (probably?) doesn't steal anything. I realized how much time I spent trying to find mirrors and torrents for things that were widely available to stream in the US, and decided it was more practical to spend the money.
- e12e 12y agoI don't really think it's "legal". In fact, I don't see how this is any more or less legal than circumventing region blocks on DVDs etc. That happens to be legal in Norway, but as I understand it would be a breach of DMCA in the US. Not sure about Australia, but I think (?) you have just as draconian content/copy-protection laws? That said, see my other comment for using ssh as a socks5-proxy. YMMW which is easier (VPN or "vpn" via ssh).
- iLoch 12y agoI'm not suggesting it's legal. The moment I can get the same content in Canada as I can in the US without buying 100+ useless channels on TV then I'll start paying for content. I have friends in the movie industry who are affected by behaviour like mine, but they can talk to the MPAA if they have a problem with it.
