I prefer not to torrent.

And your statement on 'it's legal if it's not copyrighted in that country' could rustle a lot of jimmies here because cough, k3kc, cough :)

HBO now would be the legal way of doing it. I'm not sure if you need a VPN or not though.

As far as less legal ways, you could look into Newsgroups as well. They aren't free, but are much safer than torrents.

Edit: just noticed your location, a VPN would be required.

I don't understand..

Do you think HBO is gonna forward a request to the ISP in YOUR country, THEN your ISP is going to Give-a-H00t,  and purposefully lose a customer to a complaint with no potential legal enforcement in that country?

No, I'm saying you just legalized k3kc copying of CC and BB designs.

You guys are waaaayyy to uptight.

Think of angel farts instead:

Are they warm?
Do they take over an entire conference room and do all the angels pretend it wasn't them?
What do they smell like?
Do they smell at all, or is the fart just implied?

Is it even legal to watch such explicit material in Malaysia?

No laws against private viewing. Publicly, yes illegal. Besides, these days we are sensationalizing same sex politically, I don't see what's wrong with explicit materials.

When I was in China I used StrongVPN and it was quite nice. I could connect manually when out and about but also had an extra router I set up as an endpoint at home so my wife and I could Facebook, Netflix, etc on our devices without having to connect the Vpn each time.

They had great service and a ton of servers to choose from.
I'm back.
