Also unlike most Hulu videos, it’s not TV shovelware. Joss Whedon writes outside the constraints of the idiot box, taking advantage of the stylistic freedom offered by online video. Felicia Day, of course, is a truly organic online video star. Neil Patrick Harris, who previously did only longform offline stuff, knows how to pack a performance into a fourteen-minute embeddable episode.

I do believe that in order to comply with licenses it's important for companies to do what they can to keep costs low. There are more restrictions with licenses being written into many developed sites like this now everyday. I'm a American that lives overseas and enjoys online gaming and also great music and TV sites like hulu and Pandora. When this happens I can say it's quite devastating since I really don't have access to entertainment that others do. It's unfortunate you can't simply give them a ID or something to prove your American :) I was able to get back on the site by using a American VPN service like http://www.strongvpn.com or http://www.vpnaccounts.com . With VPN services these blockages are bypassed thankfully. But it sucks I have to pay more to see these sites now. Also I suggest getting a VPN provider with unlimited bandwidth and 24x7 support, like www.strongvpn.com. I was blocked as well, and this is very unfortunate for consumers outside the USA.
