It is just a universal human urge to explore the world, especially its different cultural aspects. Georestrictions, in essence are not much different than the Soviet control of information. But even the Soviets couldn't stop

The people who risked their career and lives to distribute western books or videofilms today are considered brave but 30 years ago they were publicly condemned. In reality most of them were small opportunists who smuggled things to earn some illegal money. Not much different from current content pirates today.
