Lying is lying, stealing is stealing, and breaking a rule is breaking a rule.

Each time you purchase you are representing that you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions. Seems to me that this is very clearly a lie.
On giving an address in another country, there may well be a technicality where one is not lying. ff the address given, as is often the case, is an address where you are authorised to receive mail, perhaps a relatives address or that of a mail forwarding service, do you need to tell lies? So far as I can see, Amazon does not ask for a residential address. They cater for multiple addresses and a single default address. I'm not opening a new account so don't know if they actually require a residential address to do so when signing up. But it appears to me that many people who are not simply picking a random address or making one up may not be lying at all.
This is academic to me, as I have no moral difficulty in these circumstances with lying, be it about an address or about whether I agree to be bound by the terms and conditions when I have every intention of not being so bound.
