Neither of those excuses hold any merit in today's interconnected, global market place.
Perhaps more importantly, such policies ensure that diaspora populations are unable to legally access the content, with the direct result of an increase in unauthorised distribution of the content, and a decrease in sales of authorized content.
It is almost as if publishers would rather their books, etc were pirated, rather than legally purchased.
