Region BS spreads



...yeah. Bite me.

Luckily all the .wmv stuff still works fine, so not only can I watch this same video in higher quality, I can download the damn thing with quicktime and put it on my phone.

Still, it's appearing more and more likely that subscribing to some proxy service might be in my future.

When you find an awesome one that works on Youtube too, let me know. *mutters something about Ultraman, stage shows and boxes*

窓なき...独房? Need someone to post bail for you? *laughs*
But yeah, that kind of stuff is total BS.

Heh. Yeah, it's the nickname of my windowless office (I used to have a window, but that was a cubefarm).

Looks like today they've got some new streamer that's not restricting, we'll see how long it lasts. But yeah, the trend is just annoyingly disturbing (and I realize everywhere is starting to do it - hulu and the like wouldn't let me view from Canada).

proxy or point of presence?

It's probably no where near as bad for you, but I wish to be able to get more BBC stuff, and were I in Great Britain, I would be able to watch all their stuff on-line for free (using their iPlayer). But it's piracy if someone makes that content available across the pond.

I've been muttering to friends for a while that I need a point of presence in England...

Are these stations also blocked http://www.simulradio.jp/? (small community FMs)

And.. welcome to 1994! because some Japanese private radio stations are going to test live audio streams (http://radiko.jp/) but to be blocked outside the normal coverage area INSIDE Japan.. unbelievable.

Happy happy fall day... But it's not autumn! Hmm? Akibare is a state of mind, the feeling when you wake up on a crisp, fall day, the leaves are backlit shining yellow and orange against the blue sky, it's sweater weather, and you can do anything, absolutely anything at all...
