You are, if you're paying with a card, entering a contract in which you warrant that you have the full legal right to purchase the item you're buying. If you're evading a geographical restriction, you do not and you are hence breaking the law when you make that purchase.

Also, breaking a geographical restriction to purchase means you have an unauthorised copy under copyright law, as surely as if you'd downloaded it from the darknet. Paying cash doesn't actually come into the law on this, and indeed in some countries it makes it worse (or can lead to liability for the intermediate seller) - there is no "good faith" defence.

edit:

******, you are a ***** This is not an unfounded opinion, it is a legal opinion from a lawyer. Deal with it.
