Something to alter the ip address should be ok for the US shows, but

Don't know how long that will last? Maybe a more long-term solution is
to access piratebay via a 'generic' anonymous proxy server like:

It's so trivially easy to bypass the ban that it makes a laughing stock
of those who make up these laws.

Not only that, it has exposed a massive number of people to the concepts
of VPNs, proxies, and anonymising networks.

When 1% of the population were using such things, it was easy for the
security services to (a) trawl users of such things looking for the
*really* nasty guys, and (b) persuade a jury that using such things
implied evil intent.

Now, the use of such tools has dramatically risen it's made it a lot
harder to spot real wrongdoers, and the public are less likely to accept
a line that someone was up to no good because they were using them.
