Mask IP address

Mar 13, 2011 12:42AM PST

Ok, this may sound a bit geeky but I listen to a American radio stations via the web - especially sports/news ones.
Recently(ish) CBS has decided to block streams outside the US.

Does anyone have suggestions on software that will mask my ip address so that I can listen to them?

Cheers
G

PS I'm on a MacBook Pro with snow leopard
