Contracts giving certain publishers regional rights is a distinct issue to copyright length.

Regional restrictions on ebooks have two parts

(i) existing contracts between the copyright holders and the publishers
(ii) the ruling that for electronic sales the sale location is the customer's location, not the retailer's.
