Hi Phil: The famous "proxy server" are the way around so many of these location blocks. With governments attempting greater control over access to data we will be seeing a lot more of these proxies being used...matching this type of server with Cloud access will, at least for now, circumnavigate these synthetically created content restrictions. Is this a good thing or bad thing?

In that case, if the IP address she is connected through isn't in a block assigned to a spanish ISP, she is SOL. It's very common for media sites such as television station websites to restrict who can watch in this way. -- Stuart On 13 Mar 2013 at 17:07, John Bartow wrote: > She used her laptop while there but says it won't allow her to anymore - it > says she can't get it because of her location.
