ProxTube will fix the problem by unblocking all US-only videos for anyone to see.
The extension automatically switches on as soon as the user visit a YouTube page with a blocked video. Instead of the sad smiley, and the hint that this video is not available in their own country the user will see a loading bar and after a few seconds, the requested video loads in normal speed.
Through a Play button the user can turn the feature on and off.
System requirements are for Firefox version 4 or higher, Chrome version 10 or higher.
Unfortunately at the moment, there is no version for other browsers.
