How much knowledge does it take to spoof an IP address? There are services that will happily do so for relatively small fee.
There are many programs available online that can spoof your PC to make it look like you are anywhere worldwide. I can make my computer look like its in France if I wanted to. Some downloading web sites are only for the EU so you can spoof it so that it makes the web site think you are in the UK when you are really in Texas
