I doubt Amazon cares much about ''cheaters''. Why should they? They probably have fulfilled they responsebiliby by just checking for a valid adresse. But I could be wrong, ofc.

Anyway, even 'if' then there is many a ways around such a blockage, VPN, proxy servers (like you mentioned), ect. I know there's other Kindle users that has done this too, and I haven't heard anything about Amazon during anything to stop it.

Also, there can be legitiment reasons for a user to have an, say, British adresse, but currently living in, say, Denmark, thus having a danish IP adreese, ect, which could make it problematic to just 'ban' suspicious users. That's why the ''investigation'' probably stops at adresse validation.
