The publishers aren't responsible for geographic restrictions. They can't sell what they don't own.

The middleman's time of selling CDs, DVDs, and now books may have come to an end, but you guys were warned and had plenty of time to come up with a plan.

Umm, no. People are buying content like crazy from Amazon, from Apple...even from WalMart.com. People buying CDs, DVDs, and books directly from the author are a very small group.
And nonlegal sources aren't just cutting out the middleman. They are also cutting out the author
