Angry Watching ABC.com online streaming from outside US?

I am dying to see the TV series LOST - 4th season. When I was in US i was able to access it online at following URL.

ABC.com Full Episode Player

I moved to india in Jan 08, but now unable to view this online from India.
it gives error as "Only for viewers from US...bla..bla..bla"

Any one any trick to watch it from India ? I couldnt find any one selling these DVDs here.

Maybe not anymore. Isnt Youtube getting sued for hosting copyrighted material?

Koli, maybe you can try using online proxies. These will hide your "true" location and show a false one. However, most proxies will probably not handle high bandwidth sites (since their servers will be utilized too). You can try giving it a shot anyway.

Well yes! Ref: Judge Protects YouTube’s Source Code, Throws Users To The Wolves

I believe Google folks will take some time to remove the content . Don't know how are they going to do that!

I never tried youtube, but I dont think youtube will have that kind of quality. I shall try there. I never knew that youtube can host such a large size video.

You are right Ash - it needs heavy bandwidth for continuously streaming. Any recommendations on the proxy ? Ash - can you try and see if you can access it from your country.

I want to know if this works in any other country, may be from UK, canada... (hoping that ABC is at least allowing these countries)
