You can't "hack the internet", but you can reroute your internet to appear to be present in a specific country. This has not been done though, as the downloads work fine both from my home adress and my University where I work.

You have excellent command of the English language for someone in Denmark. Are you a native of the country?

Indeed. But I do have a PhD in molecular biology, so a high level of english capability is a good thing to have. Oh, and I played the heck out of Civilization when I was a kid, and that game really required a lot of english reading, so I learned it quite early in life. I think "You have invented the wheel!" was the first english sentence I learned..

Well, we seem to post way more money into those countries than we get back, so I think the norwegians won that one anyway.
That being said, the culture of Greenland is one that is quite strong in the danish community - Mostly due to christmas shows on TV. Turns out they have quite a bit of snow up there, and according to danish myths, Santa lives up there.
