I envy US residents — I really hope Hulu is actually working on getting it opened up to the rest of the world (especially the UK!)

We'll give you Hulu if you give us the BBC iPlayer. ;-) A bit more seriously, even when/if they do bring it to other countries I'm doubtful the entire catalog would be opened up - it would likely be on a show-by-show, country-by-country basis as they clear the rights, and I wouldn't be surprised if they added country-specific shows that the US can't watch as well.
At least I can get most of my favorite shows here through other means. I thankfully stopped watching broadcast television almost five years ago now, and I have little interest in discussing television in the workplace (when you work with electricity or on roofs, it's generally a bad idea to get distracted with something with as trivial importance as last nights TV). So I'm usually good to wait till a DVD release, and if I'm not I can usually wait a day for it to get online (usually before any syndicated show premieres on Canadian TV).
So how long until Disney decides that Hulu should use the Move Media Player and not support any browser other than IE just like abc.com. I like Hulu because it's simple and works well, something that Disney seems to not understand.
The worst part about the ABC player is it assumes you are sitting right in front of your computer and requires you to click a link to continue the video. Retarded.

They were already been streaming all these shows from ABC.com. Are you blocked from ABC.com too?
There is simply no way to stream TV or Movies to Europe. There's not even a way to pay somebody for it, and let me tell you, I would. I'd be quite happy to give Netflix ten dollars a month to stream movies online.
As it stands, Netflix, Hulu, Abc and the rest are essentially performing a 301 redirect to thepiratebay.org

The ABC player does blow, but I manage to run it on Firefox in XP. I really hope they just move to the Hulu player.
Why fight with this when you can just get the episode from Usenet or the Pirate Bay?

Because I really like J.J. Abrams, the writers, and many of the actors on Lost, and in some small, small way I want my act of watching their show to reflect positively on their compensation.

Don't envy us too much - they only give us 5 episodes of family guy, and this pains us greatly. We're flipping out over here, 'first try is free' and all that. :(
So the first 5 episodes of family guy plus every other piece of content on hulu is better than nothing how? Just curious how we're not supposed to envy you...

It would seem rjurney's point is that more options may have lower utility. Suppose there are two viewers. Both are fans of Family Guy. One viewer is exposed to one episode and the other viewer is denied all access to Family Guy. The first viewer, however, is subsequently denied access to Family Guy after viewing the first episode. If the first viewer were allowed to see all Family Guy episodes, she would eventually b…
Now my life is crap. Make sense?
