I mentioned morality because I believe it trumps bad law - I have no moral issue with DVD ripping for personal use, or with region-free DVD players to circumvent region restrictions. Or with using proxies to access Netflix from outside the US, for that matter.

That's just a silly excuse. You can't see netflix over a proxy because you need a us credit card.
I'm not making excuses for Netflix - whose is, after all, financing more episodes of a show fans love. I'm sticking up for the copyright holder who is, after all, making more episodes of a show fans love and getting flack for not getting an international distribution deal set up fast enough.
