im my experience internet content is not restrictable by country. its only restrictable by desire.

you can use a proxy or change your dns servers and hulu should open its doors to you.

You can but it kind of defies the point, it would be both more difficult and exactly the same as finding the same show on any other site on the internet. Hulu isn't licensed to serve other countries and countermanding their restriction efforts to view the content is just as illegal as finding it on a file sharing site...

Well, thanks to that I've started watching One Piece just to see what it's like.  The fat pirate bitch in episode 1 reminds me of my aunt, but much taller and actually capable of doing stuff.

Fat Pirate Bitch....

this should be the name of a PrC....

Requires either the Obese flaw or the Deformity: Obese feat?  Considering the Intimidate bonuses, it just might work.  Won't quite work so well with the swashbuckler class (or a dex-based build in general) but there are plenty better ways of becoming ship captain and going with that character type.

Free shows on Hulu:

...

Bleach, DBZ meets Ghost Cops.


YOU TAKE THAT BACK.  :p

Correction: Bleach is what the DBZ characters would wish they could be via the dragonballs, if they knew such awesomeness existed?

Eh, it gets progressively less awesome as the author pulls more and more outta his ass.

You want to know TRUE awesome? Read BASTARD!!.

International Copyright law rather than US law I would have thought.

You'll forgive me if I find the notion of something being free to watch on the internet based on your geographical location ludicrous at best.

I'm pretty sure we all feel the people who put that into effect are a bunch of idiots.

Big time but they have their reasons. Licensing and advertising for other countries can be rather a pain to get past.

They... kinda don't really have to advertise. And insofar as licensing, let's face it, the corporations got that around their fingers anyway.

How would they make their money then?

Honestly? They might as well use Google ads. I have yet to see anything advertised on youtube or anywhere else that makes me want to buy anything anyway.

Fact is, directed advertising is a dying art.

As someone who works in the ad industry, actually, I disagree. You have to keep the approach fresh, trying new things, but it is by no means dying. Segments are phasing out, but it still rolls on as a whole.

im not familiar w/ any 'international' authority. the UN isnt in that business.

each country has its own laws. most companies have a legal presence in several countries. but not every country has reciprocal laws or enforces them.

Whenever I see an ad in Spanish on cable directed at the Brazillian market I die a little inside.

The ones that don't tend to be places with no internet anyway so for the sake of this argument its basically 100%.
