angry tapir writes "Choice, a prominent Australian consumer advocacy group, has urged Australians to obfuscate their IP address to avoid geo-blocking and use US forwarding addresses to beat high IT prices.

Choice has noted previously that Australians pay 52 per cent more for digital music downloads on iTunes compared to US users."
