I've done it - I've never heard anybody put up a moral objection to it other than those who think it is morally wrong to ever lie or break a rule.

I remember reading an article about a year ago - I think it was Bookseller - where they had an opinion that it was probably some sort of fraud to give false information to a retailer in regards to your address. It'd be mind boggling to see a retailer suing a customer over it though.

"Amazon sues book buyers for falsely giving them money!!!!"
Like going to a store and giving them cash is illegal. (might be in a not to distant future)

I think geographical restrictions are a giant pacifier given to distributers/independant publishers to keep them happy until the large conglomerates have no further need of them.

Then they will all be wiped out with one fell swoop and the conglomerates will defend themselves by saying it is what the consumers demand.

Buying though a VPN is not unethical. Jaywalking is a far more serious offense as is running a red light, or even in many places, drinking a beer in your backyard, although they are common everyday occurences without all the angst and soul searching something this trivial evokes.
