I've even tried spoofing my IP address so that it looks like I'm connecting from different states/countries but nothing works. Are they seriously trying to identify IP address locations down to street level accuracy??
I managed to buy (some DRMed PDB files), but I was then unable to download them, as it seems they now check that the country of the CC is 'right' and matches what you've told them, even though there are no charges to the CC.

It does seem that Fictionwise's regional restrictions, at least for DRMed files, is now unbeatable. If anyone knows a way around it, please PM me!
