The world is complex, very complex. People like owning things, and enjoy the fact that something is theirs. They invented something for the world to use – but only if the world acknowledge that it was their idea first. People enjoy fame.
The internet is less complex, and open code is mostly blessed and praised by the insiders 9and everybody else). The problem starts when the virtual world meets the ‘real’ world (I never understood what is so fucking real in the real world, it’s just as fantasied as any virtual world).
Problem: Say I want to watch the BBC2 show that they put online, using the iPlayer. I get this error, saying I cannot watch the video since I’m not located in the UK. Copyrights issue or whatever, but this is really pissing me off.
Solution: online anonymity. Programs like TOR (free download of course) makes it impossible for the other site to know where your computer is located, and can even send the wrong location, such as, in our case, the UK. Once the server of the BBC thinks you are in the UK, problem solved.
How? Install Tor on your machine, enable it, change the Torcc file (access from your start menu) so it includes the names of the servers that are located in the UK and can be used for exit, and voila.
Hey, it’s not a detailed guide, if you’re still confused google for a better guide, written by a guy is a little more patience. I’m going to watch some good tv online an chill.
See ya.
