yup, and the point of my original post is that amazon is now geolocating your ip and seems to preventing purchases for kindles associated with the US when the purchasing ip is not in the US.
I wasn't making any moral/value judgements. Only letting you know that this is not at all new. They haven't only "just now" started geolocation, they've done it all along. That you've only just now come up against it (after two years) and got that message is really rather surprising to me.
