I'm not interested in playing a cat-and-mouse game with Amazon's netsec team. If I try to bypass their blocks, they will probably blacklist my account. Then I couldn't access the music and movies that I already purchased.
Amazon has many techniques to combat fraud, each has a cost and benefit. They decided to block VPNs because they thought it would help them make more money overall.
Publicly-traded companies care only about money. Increasing the cost of VPN blocking is a good way to get them to stop doing it. That's why I cancelled my subscriptions and did it by phone, since phone-support is more costly to companies.
I'm using PrivateInternetAccess.com . I picked them because they have California servers and they fund EFF and WireGuard.
