It's not the only option.. it the only good option.

Another option would be to purchase a VPN to route through a country where it is playable. But if you had to choose between the 2 options of pirating or paying more money to a different "shady" activity... I feel like the choice is pretty clear.

I wonder why people believe bypassing copyright law by pretending to be from another country is somehow better than bypassing copyright law by downloading the content.

Both are piracy, but the latter holds the stigmatism, and the former is openly advertised by podcasters and youtubers everywhere.
