Indeed this has been going on for a few years now, of course thankfully there are ways round this!
Are Vimeo and Daily Motion better Wilgy?
They work much better, but of course are not so popular and there is less variety of stuff. I just use "overplay" to get round the YouTube problem anyway, but that doesn't take away the issue!
As said in my previous post@silversand there are apps like TorBrowser available for free What they do? They change your Ip address giving you the chance to overcome certain restrictions
