The Internet is usually thought of as without boundaries, except where renegade thuggish nations manipulate their captive populations by manipulating information.
So, I have been surprised from time to time when I am on a site in Europe or elsewhere and get an error saying that some resource is not available in my "region". Is there a way to make a Web browser region-neutral? Are these sites looking at the IP address or something in the browser identification? I'm just curious, I don't want to do anything illegal, but if there is a legal way it would be nice. I don't have an example other than the BBC in UK did this when I went to look at a Doctor Who show - I am guessing that is a contract-thing where other regiond get delayed viewing. I get that - but it is what reminded me of this anomaly. In the past it has been a document related to the operation or repair of an old radio or piece of test gear - not likely a matter of modern video licensing.
