Circumventing Geo Restrictions still means a sale for both the publisher and the author.
It is not piracy. What a total truck load of bovine waste.
Some suggest "Tough, suck it up and go fly a kite" But if you are reading a series and that series becomes geo restricted after a certain book or you simply want to buy that book because it sounds like a good read, then you have every right to attempt to buy it. It is a win-win.
The alternative is to go the darknet route and the resulting issues that brings to light.
