Thanks, @Völler! It worked!

I feel naughty, though. Very, very naughty. But I'm a paying customer, so I will regard this as being in a grey area and not downright piracy.

It should go under "masking your IP", right, which by itself isn't illegal. However, it's most likely (without having read them thoroughly) a breach of Netflix' terms and policies, which will see me in breach of a legal norm, although "only" a contractual one. The consequences of that won't entail punishment (hence the grey area), however contractual sanctions are still relevant.

I've already been using the US unblocker based on the same reasoning, so unblocking a few more won't hurt I guess

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

I'm scabbing a friend's 'american' netflix account, though I do buy him a pint every month as payment so I guess it works out ok

Think that it's like watching internet porn...you don't feel bad that those poor girls don't get paid since you're looking 'em for free.

Ok, for PC Hola Unblocker is the easiest way to change between the different countries. It's an extension to Chrome or Firefox. Very straightforward, and it takes two seconds to change between the countries. Look here: https://hola.org/ It can also be used for other sites when videos (or other content) are geoblocked

It takes a bit more difficult on the TV since you have to change the DNS settings, but it's still relatively easy. Unlocator.com is free and has a thorough guide. Of course, Unlocator can be used for both PC and TV in case you decide to put the DNS numbers into your router.

Awesome! Thanks. :toast:

BTW, I just noticed that play.spotify.com is accelerated by my employer.

If I ever get to take a copyright issue to court, I'm calling you as my first witness

We wouldn't lose, that's for sure. I could be your lawyer too, we would use this method:

Nah, you shouldn't feel naughty. As you said, it's not illegal. Also, I haven't heard of anyone at all who had a problem with this anywhere.

Oh my God, just saw the opening scene of The Hobbit. I'm feeling all kinds of stuff already, tingly all over, wanting to undress. I'm off peepz! Have a good night

It's not illegal, and already been using hola blocker for the last year, but I preferred Netflix on the console through the TV, not the same on pc, barely used it there (lots of other streaming sites I can use if I'm on pc as is).

Dat article is in some weird looking language Völler.

Why not just use Unlocator (or something similar)?

The reason I unsubbed was because I didn't use it enough, the different technical hassles were just minor.

Cool.

@Dule90 Elysium was exactly how you described it, pretty average but stunning visually (just like Oblivion I guess).

Oblivion was better than Elysium imo.

 

[Fint]

Ok yeah, Oblivion was a slightly better storyline I suppose.

 

[ZoSo]

some I watched in the last week or so

The Day The Earth Stood Still - love sci-fi so can't hate it (unless bad sci fi with no fx), but thought it was just average and somewhat enjoyable despite some annoying characters like the kid in particular

Elysium - like above but better. characters kind of sucked, except that RUS looking guy and the mercenary/agent guy

Lone Survivor - quite intense and serves as a very good anti-war movie on a selfish personal level (even if not intended) while sharing the story of those 4 soldiers. a little reminiscent of black hawk down

21 Jump Street - funny as shit, wasn't expecting it to be so funny but also so well put together and cohesive. jonah hill is ridiculously funny

Zero Dark Thirty - expected it to be more chest beating propaganda type movie, but more subtle. surprised that some of those held captive were humanised like they were. last part was very cool with the helicopters and everything. not sure about the story of 1 agent and help of a few others catching bin laden alone, seems a bit contrived but probably serves the movie better I guess.

This is the End - not as funny as 21 Jump Street. acting especially for like the first third seems lazy but maybe it was a decision with the whole theme of the movie, still quite funny though.

The World's End - seemed to drag on a bit over the first half of the movie, and the whole robot thing never seemed overly 'explained' well. decent but not as good as hot fuzz or shaun of the dead imo.

and olga

I thought the visuals in Oblivion were some of the best in any sci fi movie I've seen

nothing beats 2001 space odyssey though

 

[Fint]

Oh ya Olga it gets an additional star for that

Short Term 12. Movie of the year?

 

[dann10]

Di Caprio deserves an award for Wolf imo. What a performance
