I can't buy CC, as I live in a territory that it is not sold in. What are my options? Is there an international store?

Hi

This question was asked back in 2014 by another, but there was no solution, and I'm hoping that one has been implemented in the interim. The question was basically: "How we who are living not in the US or Europe or any country which is on the Adobe approved list take advantage of the CC and pay?" - those who live in territories that are not US/EU/AU etc. it seems are not permitted to access CC. Is there a solution to this without resorting to piracy?

Adobe sells 'direct' to about half of the world, but they claim reseller coverage for every country - see https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/products/creativecloud/cc/pdfs/cc-availability-matrix.pdf

Resellers often charge more, and some will only deal with business/government/education customers, but there is no other (legal) option. Adobe will never explain the reasons for their territorial decisions, not least because it would give competitors an insight into corporate strategy, but we all know it's a combination of security and cost. Some places are hard to support because there are very high tax costs of running a 'local' store, even online, and in a few places the 'cloud' part of CC falls foul of local restrictions on data flow in and out of borders. Microsoft has managed it, but Microsoft has billions of dollars to throw at the problem.

Thanks. Well there are apparently no resellers here that offer solutions for individuals. So, great. c'mon Adobe, I'm a longstanding user and don't want to resort to piracy. Now that I live in the Caribbean, it seems that's my option? :/
