Hi Guys,
How do I access my Netflix account from Korea? (I've heard of VPN's and stuff).
Thanks, |

| Any VPN service, with US-based servers, will work. You'll probably have to pay about 15 bucks a month for the service, though. |

One program I use for that I think is called Hotspot shield. I found out about it here on the forum, so just do a search for netflix or hotspot. |

| I use Hot Sopot Shield for Hulu and it works well. Sometimes the connection gets really slow but all I have to do is reconnect and its good again. Its free but you will have to deal with some pop up adds.... I prefer torrents. |

| I use Astrill.com for Netflix. Works rather well, although sometimes the first few minutes of the movie is rather pixelated. That wouldn't be such an issue if I weren't watching on a 50" TV. |

| I don't think that hotspot shield works for Netflix anymore. If it does, it only does occasionally. I'm not really sure what the reason is, but I'm assuming it probably has to due with Netflix stepping up security to close this loophole. I'm not sure how much this affects other similar IP programs. |

| Just use torrents. Buy the DVDs when you're back in America if you feel bad about it. |

Are the laws different if you are downloading torrents from Korea, rather than the United States. I wouldn't feel bad about it, but typically you should proxy when downloading torrents in the states to mask your IP. A proxy would be too slow here, so VPN would be your only options, but then why use a torrent when you can just use Netflix at that point. |

Just use a wifi router, then you can just claim it wasn't you that downloaded it, someone must have connected to your wifi and downloaded it. Besides unless you're selling copied DVDs out of the back of a car on some market somewhere, no one really gives 2 tosses about individuals downloading torrents.
And yes, I'm sure you'll link me some report about some individual who got sued for copyright infringement by some organisation or another, but that's a few dozen cases out of tens of millions who torrent things every day. |

The claiming stupidity on the WIFI router wouldn't fly, since it is your responsibility to secure your connection and ultimately it will be you that pays the price. I will not link you anything on the many people that have been sued for copyright infringement, because you are right, it isn't likely that you will be the one caught. |

Maybe I'm biased in my opinion because I'm British and no one (government included) really cares about copyright infringement unless you're selling copying them and selling them. |
