Easier way of looking at this.
Blocks of IP address are given out to countries/companies/regions/etc so based on that (ie 106.x.x.x is leased to iiNet) they can determine what region you are connecting from and whether or not you are allowed to access the content.
All you do to get around this is to connect to a remote end that passes your connection or data through an IP address range that is allowed to access the content.
Hey presto, happy consumer
