Over here in Euroland, we can only cry ourselves to sleep until they finally stream movies over here!

Could we please ditch the pre-historic distribution and TV stations already and switch to a more demand-oriented paradigm?

I know it sounds like a pain in the ass, but I've got a somewhat stable solution.

Invest in a good VPN with several US based end-points (I like StrongVPN myself) which by itself will allow you to watch normal Hulu. I personally then go a little further and use a US based mail forwarder (which I use for several other things, not just this) to sign up for Hulu+ and Netflix.

It costs me about $20 per month, plus the standard cost of Hulu+ and Netflix obviously.

That's a great idea! Why is it costing you $20/month? You can get a US forwarding address with no monthly maintenance fee here: http://bit.ly/f4v9Je
