I don't know where MySpaceCDN sits with respect to MySpace, but given that NewsCorp will be out somewhere in the range of $100m ad payment from google due to the drop in traffic in MySpace, it could be speculated that MySpaceCDN is less responsive in cleaning up anime bootlegs than other sites such as Megavideo or Veoh because when the NewsCorp dollars are on the other side of the "pirate bay" issues, then that's just different.
(1) If you are in the US
(2) and using VPN "for WiFi security reasons"
(3) why not just skip the VPN when watching Hulu? There's no sensitive information of your to be stolen, after all - Hulu is not like iStream that uses credit card information to verify your location.
