My Girlfriend was in London last year and was unable to watch shows on ABC.com because of IP restrictions AND apparently time zone restrictions. I figured this out when she came back to the US and was still unable to access shows. She had the clock on her laptop set to London time/time zone, and until she set it back to EST, ABC.com wouldnt allow her to access shows. Pretty strange. Interesting article.

I came across Hoptspot Shield a while ago and got my bother to use it form Australia . The content distribution services would prefer if content was global and distribution windows went away as it means more viewers for them . If I cant access content I want trough these services I will just go the Bittorent route when I'm in Australia and ad revenue will be lost by the content distributors and owners .

I've been looking for something exactly like it! I don't mind the ads, except just now, pressing enter to go to the next line in this comment box brought up a pop-up ad with the Ask.com home page and the Hotspot Shield advertising banner. That's kind of annoying. It'd be nice if they limited the ads to banner & rich-media ads only. If you've closed the banner ad at the top of the page, then pressing enter in this comment box doesn't bring up the new window. Good to know. Anyway, the speed is great for viewing web pages but watching a video on CBS.com (which I haven't been able to do till now, thanks to Hotspot Shield) is very sluggish and jerky. Any way to speed that up somewhat, so it's watchable? I'm from British Columbia and have Telus high-speed ADSL as my Internet service. Cheers, Doug I like this service.

I didn't know about the 10GB/month data transfer limit, but then I don't use it too often so probably am not even close to that amount. For me, the fun is just as much in bypassing Hulu's stupid restrictions as in actually watching the shows! Hopefully more free VPN's will surface now - as others have pointed out, they'll probably figure out a way to block it now....
