Passing url to getJSON

getJSON works ok if I use json file locally, but I don't understand why can't I obtain it from external source?

For example:

$.getJSON('http://ninsuna.elis.ugent.be/rdf/data/tennis/Roland_Garros-25.05.2009-RogerFederer-RobinSoderling-set1-game1?output=json', 
function(data) {
  $('.result').html(data);
  alert('Loaded.');
});

The link outputs clean json file, but the method can't load it, in Firebug the response field is empty (unlike when I switch to local .json file).

This violates the Same Origin Policy.

The exception to this rule is to use JSONP however the remote server needs to support the slightly different response format.
