Not for a moment would I advocate anyone should break the law by accessing content not available in certain geographic locations due to copyright reasons, however I can't help thinking that it's not hugely dissimilar to the old argument regarding 'DVD regions'.

I have read Mixture's well put points in post #2, but feel once again that the real beneficiaries here are not the end users but the commercial organisations. It is of course up to each individual to assess whether it is legally and morally right to circumvent restrictions, and while I readily admit to being not 100 per cent sure myself, I have in the past used DVD region hacks, and continue today to use
