I have no moral objection whatsoever to anyone circumventing such an arbitrary restriction; the ones at fault are those attempting to force unnecessary rules on the people trying the hardest to support the creators. Regions shouldn't need to exist in a worldwide network at all, and it's especially offensive that what it ends up doing is isolating fans in any country not called 'America'. I could also rant all day about the stupidity of dividing up regions by language, so my English-fluent friends across Europe are screwed and I can't even watch the stuff I pay for when I'm on the road.
Having said that I personally don't tend to circumvent the locks and have only unblocked Japanese-only streams rather than US ones, and only for series which mattered a great deal to me. I don't want to give even the US stream hits if they won't cater to me so I just moan and wait for the physical version instead (I haven't got enough time to watch all the shows I want in the first place).
It's stupid that there's no legal One Piece stream here, and I personally think it's Manga UK who need to be persuaded to push for one to supplement their DVD release. If anything needs a legal way to sample it, it's a long-running shounen action show with addictive elements and a weird art style. It's been years since FUNimation and Toei sorted out a US stream; why are we still left out?
