that works for me, and appears to be the same video. no idea why the one in the original link is blocked.

Get a plugin that sets X-Forwarded-For in your http headers to some random US IP. Doesn't work on all sites, but it does work for comedy central.

I use Modify Headers in Firefox.

To my understanding it's not the US Comedy Central that is blocking you from viewing it outside the US but your country of origin - if they signed exclusive distribution rights for that country. Not too sure how this plays out in EU countries but I definitely know this is the case in Canada where The Comedy Network has exclusive broadcast/distribution rights.

In any case these types of antiquated deals further support the idea that SOPA was crafted by an industry that refuses to innovate.

Curiously, the clip plays for me in the Netherlands. But there was little on SOPA in it.

Yes, the title is a bit misleading. He only said he would talk about it in the next show.
