I've really had this with this BS!

Half the time when I wanna check a Dutch, French, English, US, [other country than Belgium] video on youtube I get this bloody message.


I'm pretty sure this has gotten worse recently (since Google took over maybe?)...

Is there any way/hack to bypass this?

I've never hear of that. Is it your government that is blocking them via your ISP? I thought Belgium was a laid back place. You could always try accessing it through a proxy. Not sure if that would help.

It's not the governments but the sites themselves.
I use a web proxy for Pandora.

I've had the opposite problem- all the videos I want to watch have either been deleted or have been muted.

Same thing here. When i want to watch stuff off Hulu, i can't because I Live in Canada.

WOW. Just checked out the proxy.org thing and pandora works. sweet.
But it might be illegal in your country, so if you care about that stuff :P be careful.

only downside is that it'll be slower than what alvaro posted above.

Proxy servers are your friend. I use one regularly so I can view shows on the BBC iPlayer (it's restricted to viewers in the UK) - I'd be lost without my regular dose of EastEnders.

That's funny. I thought that here in the U.S. of A. (the land of censorship and limited freedom) I couldn't see all the web sites I wanted to. Oh wait, that's the rest of the world.


Bwaaaaaa Haaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
