This isn't exactly piracy, as I intend to pay, but I'm wondering how I can use a VPN to get a cheap Deezer subscription.

I'm trying to use TunnelBear with an Argentine IP to get a very cheap Deezer subscription, but I keep getting an error when I try, and I think it might be because the credit card I'm using is not from Argentina.

Is there a way around this? If not, do any other music streaming services allow you to use a VPN for foreign pricing rates?

That would break the terms and conditions listed on Deezer's website, giving it the right to terminate your account at any time without notice. Personally I don't really get why you would give your money to a company in this scenario. Pay for it properly or pirate.

Yeah I think this is about convenience right? Pirating is more work than scrolling through an interface.

It depends how experienced you are and whether you have a system in place that works for you. I would say piracy is very convenient if you know what you're doing.

I agree it can get very convenient. You could get the *arr suite of apps running with Ombi and never have to touch a browser to find stuff. The *arr suite fail to find things pretty often though (see: downloading singular seasons of old shows) and I can see why someone just doesn't want to deal with all that.

You'll need a payment method from whichever country you tunnel into.

Do you know of any way to remotely get a Argentine payment method ? Or just any foreign payment method I. general

You can open accounts for different currencies on wise.com

I'm seeing there are various systems you can get into to pay.

First try to get a Residential Proxy, second there are various prepaid cards like Prex or payment systems like mercadopago (Brazilian company as I researched). Or search resellers.

This isn't true. I used a debit card from a different country and it worked fine.

You could use freezer instead
