...and that is precisely my belief as well.
If I see an ebook online that is not available in Australia due to geo restrictions then I will do my utmost to buy the book from wherever I can using what means necessary to purchase it.
There are far easier means available if I chose to go down that path but I do not, preferring to at least pay the author some royalties for his work.
