The legality of circumventing of geo-blocking is something of a grey area in Australia, although Communications Malcolm Turnbull has previously argued that using a VPN to access overseas content is not illegal under the Copyright Act.........The 2013 report of the parliamentary inquiry into IT pricing in Australia, which examined price discrimination, recommended that the Copyright Act be amended to explicitly support the right of consumers to employ anti-geo-blocking measures. http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/573005/it-legal-use-vpn-evade-geo-blocking/ http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/573005/it-legal-use-... According to the Australian government, employing anti-geo-blocking measures is implicitly legal. I recommend staying off mass-market geo-blocking services and VPN's and use ones that rely some programming to achieve. Have not received the HBO email about cancelling my service due to proxying to US.
