because of People like you, the Services in these kinds of Countries gets more expensive for the People that actually live there.
How do you pay for it? If I try to use a visa cc for an acct outside the US they demand I have a bank acct in that country and verify a deposit AMT.
I had one in Argentina for ages, until they pulled this trick
Tried Ukraine, VPN was up, local address there, it just blocked me from paying with my US VISA card :/
Doesn't that idea fall apart when you get to the payment method? The payment service knows in which country your bank account or PayPal account is registered that isn't IP dependent right?
