Did you try it again? It works for me outside the U.S. without doing tricks... or do you get this for only some videos?

It was ABC's 'Poison Arrow'. Yes, a british group (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:hifoxqw5ld0e), but viewing in Scotland is prohibited! Give me a break!

That was the first, and only, video I tried. Upon receiving that message I was out of there. Pronto.

This whole 'media distribution' thing needs a massive re-think.
I haven't tried, but I'm pretty sure I could access a downloadable, high quality, non DRM'd version of that video in reasonably short time.
All these virtual borders are not really helping the situation are they?
