Yeah, I am not sure of the legality of using a VPN to get US content but, yes, to be fair, you ARE paying for it. YouTube is a mix of legal and illegal.
The news channels I get on NowTV- US cable subscriptions are typically over $100 US per month so paying about 40 US per month for cable plus Internet still feels like a bargain to me so not complaining about Now TV.
So I have Now and Netflix (HK) which is usually plenty but the loss of crime documentaries is a real blow.
Maybe I will find out about Prime Asia, what the content for that is...
