Personally I have a VPS in every country I want to get content from.
I have a US VPSs, for Netflix, Pandora an whatever else. I have a UK VPS for BBC iPlayer, Channel4 and so on.
Cheap as chips generally. I think my UK one cost $30 a year!
Sell the service to my friends, and bingo I've made my money back, and I don't have to worry (too much) about some third party stealing all of my traffic
