Oh it is, it is. Several times you were called out for being wrong. Clearly you cannot accept that. The dog? Next time please refrain from calling me a dog.

Oh and Piper. It this has EVERYTHING to do with rights. The rights of the one who creates the work and the rights of the publisher. The consumer has some rights but not to demand the things you and dog seems to be claiming.
The product belongs to the publisher. They get to decide what to offer to the consumer. If the consumer doesn't like the terms they can choose to go elsewhere, but that does not give them the right to break the law.
See how it really is all about rights? Copyrights and other rights.

You have no ideas of how to solve the issue do you? Rather, you go on the offensive deriding other peoples opinions and possible solutions as they see them.
Do you have any ideas to offer or will you continue to deride other members?
I believe you will find that everyone knows about the current state of play which is plainly NOT WORKING. Ebook readers want to buy their ebooks but according to you they should not wish for anything better, anything that might allow them to purchase the last few ebooks in a series that are suddenly restricted to those who reside in a certain location. Geographic restrictions. Take a look at the Deals, Freebies, and Resources forum. Plenty of free books but, wait for the sting, all geographically restricted.
Thank God for Smashwords, Baen and other forward thinking ebook publishers who are prepared to meet with their customers part way instead of treating them with disdain.
I am not going to repeat what I reckon is a possible solution to reducing piracy because you are so blinded, so entrenched by your beliefs that you tolerate no other opinion bar your own.
Meanwhile the band plays on and nothing at all is resolved.
