To be more constructive than Mr. Anonymous, from the Hulu site:

Q : Why can't I watch your videos from outside the U.S.?

For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide. This requires clearing the rights for each show or film in each specific geography and will take time. We're encouraged by how many content providers have already been working along these lines so that their programs can be available over the Internet to a much larger, global audience. The Hulu team is committed to making great programming available across the globe.

Basically, it's legal reasons keeping non-US residents from accessing Hulu video feeds. Would they suck less if they broke the law and allowed everyone to watch the videos?

Check out the line where the television announcer says, "deep thrust scientific probes into neighboring galaxies have conclusively established that Alpha Centauri is the one planet able to sustain human existence within the range of our technology."

Um. Could not Irwin Allen afford to hire a high school student to look over his scripts and tell him the difference between galaxies, stars, and planets? Jeez.

In reply to the post above from 'Posted by jp on Wednesday December 26, 2007 '

You can watch basically the videos shown here at free video sites all over the web so this defeats your purpose in stopping people viewing video content on your site. Why do people from outside US feel alienated? you can't watch this or that.

When I can go to a free video online and watch episodes of a TV series even whole latest movies for free. So stop banning others from seeing what people i nthe US are watching.

If not then just click on over to Free TV & Movies Site at www.freemoviesite.com

the real interesting thing about this is:

beeing outside the usa means you're not able to watch plenty of videos!
(true is: you're able to find most of the videos on other sites)

but did u know? Bill Gates ("had to") put a backdoor in Windows-Source-Code so that the CIA is able to watch us? ;)

=> we don't have to care about US-Busines, but they seem to care a lot about our's!
(and yes the USA is the #1
- with no respect to human rights
- with no respect to other country's
- with no respect to their own people (how many ppl starve in a rich country like the US)
- with no respect to people's privacy)

Let's hope that Obamaman is able to change this!

Don't get me wrong I like the US-People just not the goverment (security serices)!
