Cardy, re your comment re " a lot of Aussies will be doing it soon". Is this the future off Aussies avoiding Dallas Buyer Club like persecution???
Yep that is spot on mate re VPN and it makes a mockery of all the Legislation etc etc that they are talking about. I download stuff but mainly TV shows that I watch and when travelling cant keep up with them. Makes it easy when I return from a trip to just download the episodes I missed. Or should I say my wife has missed

I am not ripping off the system and sure many other Aussies are not downloading movies to rip off the system but a case of its there and they want to watch it.. They dont on sell the Movies.
Now speak of the devil Indonesia and other Asian countries are huge downloaders and sellers of movies as can be seen if you have friends who have been to Bali and bought back movies in covers... Now this is where the Movie companies should be looking but they know they are bashing their head up against a brick wall.
Sure many Australians will just give it away and move on.. Lots of other sources of movies for free and YOUTUBE has thousands and they are not all that old.
eg..
www.youtube.com/results?search_query=youtube+full+movies
Full movies
You just go into Google or youtube and put in what you are looking for
If you like SCI FI put that in and lots of Full movies come up.. T
o get full screen you just click on Full screen box at bottom right.
I have a thing called WDTV live which can be bought from JB HiFi for under $100 and this connects your computer to your TV.. So you can access YouTube through that and watch on you big tv... If Wi Fi from your router is a problem you can run a Cat5E network cable from the router to the WDTV box. This cable can be bought for around $15 on the net and is 30m long but you can get shorter and longer..
Anyway food for thought. if you do get a WDTV box and need any help give me a yell
WDTV has lots of other features as well..
Enjoy your trip mate and dont buy to many of those pirated DVD's from what I have heard most of them are crap copies.
