Using a free VPN? Why not skip the middleman and just send your data to President Xi?

Re: BBC account with a listed physical UK mailing address

this is peculiar, because when I went to the registration page, they wanted ridiculous amount of personal information, starting with your address / postcode, and your age, and your full name, if I remember correctly. Of course, you can fake all / some of these, but even if the system bites, would it be legal? Probably similar to "stealing" your neighbours' tv signal ;)

Actually, this is an interesting legal poser: am I breaking the (UK) law downloading bbc content I am entitled to (supposedly), but from, er... "other sources"?
