You know the region locks are because of laws, copyright and royalties? It's not the providers being mean; they are required to block it because their licensing deals.

That being said. I'm surprised the EU hasn't moved more forward in this area. So that if you could negotiate for the EU, instead of each separate country.

Imagine if in the USA each state had it's own distribution laws and you had to negotiate each state separately.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Fucking hell OP, what an amazing find. Might renew my netflix just to see Terriers and Millennium again. If Veronica Mars is still on there, that would be great then I dont have to import some french dvd.

Nope. Just tried it and it doesn't work.

I think I'll stick to the foolproof way of opening up the site on a US proxy and then copying over the session ID from that cookie into a normal cookie. That works wonders for me.

This thing with the session id never works for me... I use hotspot shield

I can't believe netflix or any internet content has region locking, that is so stupid.

Nah bro, hotspot shield lags you out quite a bit from my experience.

The reason why session id doesn't work for some people is because they are using the wrong proxy. Some proxies just don't work. I always use proxite.net which is perfect for session ID swapping. Here are the simple steps:

1) Open up website in proxite.

2) Close the window/tab with the proxy.

3) Open up the website normally without any proxy.

4) Install Cookie Manager+. Then go into Cookie Manager + and type in your website name

5) Copy session ID from the proxy cookie to the normal cookie.

6) Refresh the page.

&) Profit and Win.
