Oh please. It wasn't about agreeing with me.
I wasn't posting about the geographic restrictions. Yes, they're created by publishing deals, though not deliberately by the publishers. It's because companies, anywhere in the world, have limited territoriality. Trying to phrase that as being the publishers' "fault" is verging on churlish.
Given that there are restrictions, I was posting about why Amazon hadn't negotiated past those restrictions here in this region. It's all down to Amazon's 500-pound gorilla tactics. The Prof saying "I don't know about that" and then posting about a different aspect of the issue as if that invalidated what I'd said, meant that he, and now you, are saying oranges invalidate apples.
