If the content providers want to reach a large audience, they must understand that blocking someone because they live on the wrong side of some border, is just stupid. Is the only way we can send a message, to not consume the content? I can't see a good solution to this problem.

I want to buy a month of VPS time (turning 18 soon so I can get a credit card so I can sign up!) to see if the VPN/Proxy performance is decent. It is total crap. And you are right - in the end we don't miss services like Last.fm and they can go to hell for all we care. Welcome to Australia!
