Pub X makes the book available as an eBook, and the Europeans and Australians blame Pub X because they are not allowed to download the book.
It seems to me that the fault lies with Publisher Y, who has not gotten off its duff and made the book available to those areas it has the rights for.
The Europeans and Australians are blaming X when they should be blaming Y.
Am I right, or am I missing something?
