I know this thread is a couple of weeks old, but I'd just like to throw out there how bewildered I am about these recommendations: what's the point of using a VPN to pretend that you're in the US/UK, enter a US/UK address and then enter a US billing address for your credit card if you don't have any such credit card (i.e. a credit card registered with a US billing address)? If you did have such a thing, these georestrictions are easy to get round right? Aren't we talking about people who don't have a US credit card here?

By the way I have a VPN on all the time (I "seem" to be in the US), so if there is actual solution based on this I'd love to hear it!
