1. Buy a prepaid debit card.
2. Rent a mailbox at Mailboxes Etc. or a similar company.
3. Log in to the prepaid card's web site and enter the address of your
rented mailbox as the billing address.

Again, streaming video providers did not make this choice. Content owners
did, and made its enforcement a contractual requirement for leasing that
content to the streaming video providers.
