To my understanding it's not the US Comedy Central that is blocking you from viewing it outside the US but your country of origin - if they signed exclusive distribution rights for that country. Not too sure how this plays out in EU countries but I definitely know this is the case in Canada where The Comedy Network has exclusive broadcast/distribution rights.

In any case these types of antiquated deals further support the idea that SOPA was crafted by an industry that refuses to innovate.
