I’d like to watch US tv from here in Bulgaria.
Heard of Hulu? Well, they block access to content if you’re outside the US.
So various things were invented to get around it, like HotSpotShield. But Hulu has discovered a way to determine if you’re trying to access their content through such a proxy .. and now we can’t see shit from the US.
Or can we? Hotspotshield didn’t block the commercials, all the usual commercial reasons for blocking content are not in effect here. Well, maybe I’m not going to be buying hamburgers at Wendy’s or some “pre-owned” car from some local schmuck …
In any case, this is as much a promotion for using the torrents as anything. And guess what? If you download The Daily Show (which you can do a couple of hours after it’s broadcast) …. or House MD … you get a copy with no commercials.
Haven’t these idiots figure this stuff out yet? I really should stop asking that question, shouldn’t I.
Oh, and another thing – I have a fiber optic connection in my apartment here in Bulgaria. Ain’t that something? I can download and upload torrents originating from around the world – and especially from the US – faster from Bulgaria than I could from within the US. Thanks a bunch At&t and Comcast. I had to leave the country to get away from you!
