| 740452 | 2009-01-21 03:20:00 | Is subverting these country-specific schemes legal by using a proxy legal? I would imagine that there would be some terms and conditions saying that this was not, as subdividing the world into areas that pay different amounts is part of their business model. Hey, you asked for a legal way -- I'm just pointing this out. |

| 740453 | 2009-01-21 03:30:00 | By the way, when I browse to computerworld.co.nz I get this forum. Is there a DNS change going on or something? | holloway (1694) | ||
| 740454 | 2009-01-21 03:34:00 | Is subverting these country-specific schemes legal by using a proxy legal? Probably not. I'd say go Bittorrent - if they don't like it then they should set up an international site for purchasing |

| 740455 | 2009-01-21 03:43:00 | By the way, when I browse to computerworld.co.nz I get this forum. Is there a DNS change going on or something? If this is still occuring, then it is a problem with your PC setup (probably not sending the 'host' header in the HTTP request). Because the site shares an IP with PressF1, and PressF1 is the default site on that IP, if you try to access computerworld.co.nz without sending the header the server doesn't know which site you are asking for, and so gives you the default one. As far as I'm aware, the DNS records have not changed (although I'm not certain - Jan?). |

| 740456 | 2009-01-21 04:19:00 | I've downloaded a couple of shows from iTunes USA. You can get gift vouchers from here (http://mikesay98.blogspot.com/) (I've personally used that site and received the codes as promised). | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 740457 | 2009-01-21 04:23:00 | I'd say go Bittorrent I've used bittorent a few times, but with that new law thats coming out, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Also the file sizes are quite large, and can waste a large amount of our weekly data allowance (1 GB), whereas flash videos fit perfectly :) |

How big (file size) are the TV shows you've downloaded? |
