People who rent certain kinds of web hosting, or dedicated servers, on which they can run their own proxy, could rent them in the country of the music source they are interested in. Just be sure to do it in a way that doesn't append an extra header exposing your real IP address (they might check that). Squid appends one by default but it can be overridden in the configuration. Other methods include doing a VPN or TCP redirection. Shell accounts can be used for the latter via SSH if they allow enough bandwidth.
... making open source software work on closed hardware from non-cooperating manufacturers. If the manufacturers would open their hardware interface documentation, and avoid making all those little changes every month just for the sake of change, and deliver a stable platform (new major versions every couple years, with all documentation ahead of time)... then all software can focus more on usability instead of battling with the hardware. And this includes YOU... Broadcom.
It's so easy lots of people will be voting often... all day long. In the mean time lots of other people won't have any idea how to get around the "You have already voted" pop-up they get on their first try.
Even if no one had thought of this before (which is not really true), this is the kind of thing that once a need presents itself, hundreds or thousands of people would think up how to do this. This is nowhere near the kind of thing that justifies the patent system concepts (of taking the rights away from possible other inventors because it is a concept that was not likely to have other inventors). The patent system is supposed to reward the inventor for creating something that we would otherwise have not had. But this is a case of something we most certainly would have almost as soon as the need is first experienced. The only advantage of a prior-to-the-need invention in this case is a few weeks lead time on the initial development, at most.
... taxing DVDs to fund innovative uses of VHS video tape, or taxing laser printers to fund innovative uses of typewriters, or taxing microwave ovens to fund innovative uses of wood stoves, or taxing cars and trains to fund innovative uses of horses and donkeys?
If it can't sustain it's own, it's a failed business model (at least now it is, after it has run its course as an intermediate technology to bring us to where we are). It probably needs to die off and be quick about it.
If there is some specific benefit to keeping it beyond its ability to sustain itself by profit, then tax or charge those who benefit from it. If there is a social case for making sure the elderly who don't get online have a means to get their news, then supplement printing the news for them. Maybe it's good enough to let them fill out a form with a bunch of check boxes which someone can enter into a computer, which then prints stories they are interested in from online sources and deliver it to them.
A lot of English words come from French instead of Norsk, so for English speakers, French really could be easier. Having studied both as a native English speaker (my nickname does not mean I'm from Sweden) I'd say they are close to equal. A German speaker might find Norwegian easier than French. The Danes and Swedes no doubt will as the languages are very similar.
Major companies work in English. English is a required language in all schools now, so only the older people and the language challenged can't speak it in some way. But, Norwegian isn't so hard to learn. Lots of words shorter than English... "light and sound" is "lys og lyd"... "USB memory stick" is "USB minne pinne"... "lightning and thunder" is "lyn og torden". And "FAEN" is the universal curse word.
Cost of living in the Oslo area is very high (you might want to try Trondheim if you like the cold or Bergen if you like the rain). Taxes are high. Health care is socialized.
Lots of tunnels to drive around in. The longer ones even have a rest stop or two inside.
Remember that these articles are written by people who have only a passing interest in IT or technology. They like and buy gadgets. They never choose the OS their computer runs. They have no clue what geeks really like (for example quality import or locally brewed beer, instead of massive quantities of major brand junk).
For every real job, there's often half a dozen or more recruiters vying to place a candidate, and putting their own, somewhat re-worded, posting in Dice, Monster, and other places. So the numbers can be very inflated. OTOH, maybe this will make employers panic and decide they need to start hiring now to get the good people before they are all re-employed (they know the good people will get jobs sooner... it's kind of like seeing prices moving back up and everyone hurries to buy while they are still kind of low).
One issue to remember with recruiters is this. They often don't tell you who their client (the employer) is. And most employers have policies brought forth from the legal department to never hire a candidate when two or more recruiters submit the same one. You could be shut out of a job and you (and even the recruiters) never know why, because of how the recruiters behave.
The shortwave band frequencies (2 MHz to 25 MHz... depending on time of day and other conditions) could be used, too. The underground in Germany did that during World War 2. A lot got caught by direction finders. A lot didn't. It would be low bandwidth, but could supplement satellite based communications. Ham radio operators inside Kuwait used this to communicate out when Iraq invaded Kuwait. And hams are using lots of data/packet communications even over these frequencies these days.
Their HR department computers (or even all their computers as a means to get through to the HR department) have suddenly become the interest of thousands of hackers world wide.
... when you use common file names that typical cameras use for their stored photos. Most people never change them. I took the part of the file name of that family's photo (removing the appended reduced size that was used) which was "img_1053". Google images found this. People should think about what they put online. Google is watching.
I wrote the script for many reasons. It customizes the browser on the fly, too. For example, it codes the process ID of the shell that parents it into the localnet IP address configured to connect to the proxy server with. That way I can track connections back to specific browser instances. It also puts the process ID into the default home page after "#". There are some other customizations, some controlled by environment variables. And it is not yet converted to FF 3 (error: out of space on todo plate).
IMHO a better fix is to completely disable looking up browser history for link styling. Let it treat all links as unvisited if there is no difference in styling these different classes of links. Make it the default to use the same style (most people don't care). Then re-enable the lookup if the styles are changed and the result of the change is 2 or more different styles (and pop up a warning that JS and CSS and see these style variations and this can expose detection of sites you have visited).
I'm letting it scan my browser now. So far the only thing it has found is Slashdot. It could maybe find sites that I've followed links from Slashdot to. But it won't find much because I run a separate browser instance, with its own (initially empty) browser history, cookies, etc, for each site I visit via by the means I have set up to start a new browser (command line script, and menu selection for the browser). And for those of you who are wanting to tell me "but Firefox just joins all startups into the same process and only gives you a new window". Well, I defeated that by dynamically creating a new home directory on the fly for each startup, populating it with a template set of files Firefox expects, setting the HOME environment variable to that path, and starting the Firefox process. So the scanning of my browser is limited to just what this one I use for Slashdot has visited recently.

So for 2 years you haven't found a proxy?

Maybe the 64-bit version can.

Is there any track record of the government making anything having to do with the internet secure short of keeping everyone out?
All your ballot are belong to us!

You should have included his password, too.
I agree. And I think they should get triple damages, too. That means, she has to pay the price of 72 songs.

The script is rather large because it has a lot of other customization in it.

You are expecting them to actually check their sources?
