Isn't HULU region blocked? Or did that change/execs get some more braincells.

That is good news. God I hate blocked content.
Even because there are so few brazilians that would watch it that it makes no sense to block us poor guys.

Hulu is just as blocked as Comedy Central, so this really doesn't make much of a difference to non-Americans. Well, it's blocked in Canada at least -- perhaps it works in the rest of the world?

be sure if you use Hulu to mark the video in the *blocked channel as well - I am in sweden and its blocked from here

Q : Why can't I watch your videos from outside the U.S.?
For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only. That said, our intention is to make Hulu's growing content lineup available worldwide. This requires clearing the rights for each show or film in each specific geography and will take time. We're encouraged by how many content providers have already been working along these lines so that their programs can be available over the Internet to a much larger, global audience. The Hulu team is committed to making great programming available across the globe.

Region blocking has more to do with foreign media control issues as opposed to anything else. Allowing Pro-American content in N. Korea (or other countires) would /could result in a rather sever punishment for the viewer and increased diplomatic tensions, or *gasp* even a lawsuit.
