That is a modern medicine fix. Treat the symptom. How about treating the cause?

Scrap geo restrictions and DRM and be realistic with pricing to attract more sales.

Encourage more people to buy ebooks rather than be turned away and seeking an alternative because they cannot purchase the ebook they want AND are happy to purchase.

The publishing industry is its own worst enemy. They could be riding on the digital age with common sense distribution models (Baen model perhaps?) instead of making it harder for ebooks to be sold. This is the reality.
