Australia consumer group urges IP address spoofing for better prices

http://j.mp/S984Mc  (Computerworld Australia)

   "Consumers should spoof their IP address and use US forwarding
    addresses to beat high IT prices in Australia, consumer advocacy group
    Choice said.  Choice, which has made submissions to the parliamentary
    IT pricing inquiry, told consumers to fight geo-blocking, the practice
    by which companies block consumers in certain regions from buying
    goods based on their IP address."
