can you give your neighbor your paper book and still have a copy to read at the same time? why should someone be allowed to purchase one copy but then share copies with their family /freinds / etc etc all at the same time?

I hear you on vendor lock in. But regional lock in is not because they dont want FRANCE to have the book. Its because a publisher hasnt the rights to publish the book in France yet or perhaps the publisher has just got the hard cover out and they want to wait for awhile before releasing the ebook version to help sales of the hardcover.

SO WHAT. its not available to YOU yet in the format or at the price you desire , read something else

Because the illegal folk dont have to worry about negotiating contracts and setting up distribution and payment channels( to the authors etc) and making sure tax documents for the various regions are properly filed etc etc etc

The reason the "pirates" are quicker is because they arent following the rules
