Web Site Blocked due to geographic location

I want to watch steaming video on: http://www.abc.net.au/news/abcnews24/ but unfortunately I have been blocked, by the website, because I live outside Australia. Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem?

I dont think you are allowed to use proxy legally for such purpose. Are you sure that using proxy to access that particular site is legal?

I have tried using several Australian Proxies and setting my system time to Australian time. Unfortunately the web site detects I am outside Australia and doesnt allow me to watch the streaming video.

Then I suggest you move to Australia :-)
