And what are you trying to get at with that argument?
What I was trying to get at is that just because we find books to read online, without regard where the book was published, we shouldn't forget in this discussion that a lot of other people find books to read in magazines, newspapers, TV, brick&mortar bookstores, libraries... "local" channels.
Ignoring that entirely is unfair to both the publishers who have to deal with it, and those "non-international" readers who also pay for books to keep authors and publishers in business.

I know that, I was just using Australia as one example.
