Yep. And that is why "we are just honouring our contracts which still date from print publishing and include geographic restrictions" is such a nonsensical arguement. Either there IS no actual ban on selling US paperbacks outside of North America, or Amazon.de has a huge lawsuit hanging over their heads...
