    Technically its illegal in New Zealand (after the great John Key and The Hobbit saga) but the ISPs don’t give a shit. Never used a VPN and only got one letter just after the law took effect. Nothing since. So many people here do it it’s unenforceable.

      I think it’s also technically illegal in Australia but because the rights holders can only come after you for the retail cost of whatever was pirated it’s functionally legal. the MPAA would rather sue a kid in the US for hundreds of millions than one in Aus for $14.95.
