Not at all.. you miss my point..
Some of your "customers" would be able to appreciate a way to get an IP address somewhere outside the U.S.
No offense was intended...
It WAS mostly a joke, not only would it be legally problematic, but a pain in the buttocks as well.

You would want to make sure Larry gets a cut for offering the medium to connect individuals looking to bypass Amazon's procedures. He was looking for a way to "monetize" macresource, after all.

i know it was a joke. No offense taken
I am just curious why you would want an IP outside US. Except a few shows on BBC, I never wished I had a foreign IP. Quite the opposite, when I am in Europe, I can't you netflix, pandora, amazon video, etc.

Beats me... but I see "offshore" proxy servers listed as a good thing for some folks. WOULD be nice to watch BBC online....
Maybe Voodoopenguin could set us up a proxy at his house

It would be a dream for me to be able to watch European television.

Canada isn't in the US?

Another use would be to watch real Olympics, not the sanitized commercialized limited nbc Olympic coverage.

Without really knowing what was going on, space-time graciously guided me through the process. Am now enjoying the new Dylan CD set.
This opens the possibility of getting an Internet connection at the cabin in the US and using that to get a US Netflix account. The pickings on Canadian Netflix are slim.
thanks to everyone for playing, Todd's appreciative keyboard
