Megaupload and FileSonic were my source of The Daily Show episodes. I don't live in the US, there isn't any other way I could watch it. It used to be on cable (sony) but not anymore. I used to have a SSL tunnel and a plus account on Hulu to watch some series, but then I got tired of maintaining a VPS.

I don't go to theaters. I think it's a stupid waste of time for a bad quality experience. I watch tons of movies on pay-per-view, but the list I can choose from is 5-10 movies long. Netflix here is also limited to a few titles. I record a lot of series, but some of them are incomplete or translated.

There is no other option to me. I need to be a pirate if I want that content. I tried way too many times to get MPAA to accept my money, but they don't want it.

Good thing is that I've been discovering some really cool stuff made in Europe (specially France) (and they accept my money for their content!!!).

EDIT:

I also need to make Itunes believe I'm in the US in order to buy the stuff I want. I can't use my credit card, so I buy gift cards using some "illegal" websites. This is pathetic.



You can watch The Daily Show on the site proper by setting the X-Forwarded-For header you send to '12.13.14.15'. For more details see http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/onath/stephen_colber...


"I need to be a pirate if I want that content."

Or you could find better to do with your time rather than wasting it watching TV shows and movies and trying to figure out how to get them.
