I can buy virtually any dead tree book published. This is especially true for Amazon. There are no questions asked, no restrictions due to where I live.

I have been purchasing such books via mail order well before estores became a reality.

Geo restrictions makes DRM irrelevant and fosters the darknet alternative IMHO
