Blackout Restrictions on MLB.tv

[kontiki]

MLB.tv's blackout rules are killing me. In Honolulu we're blacked out of all Mariners, Giants, A's, and Padres games because the owners of those clubs insist Hawaii is in their home market area. That means even when the Orioles play those teams at Camden Yards, here in the islands we are blacked out because the people who are actually in those west coast market areas can watch the game on their local sports network. It makes no sense and is beyond frustrating. It would be nice to see major league baseball stand up to these greedy owners and monopolizing cable companies and back the fans for once.

Can't you use a proxy or something to hide your location?

The proxy does seem to be the preferred method of skirting around the blackout, but I shouldn't have to go through that kind of hassle for a game 4,800 miles away.
