I haven't done it yet but I know misrepresentation is wrong. Having said that, I would have no qualms about lying if it enabled me to get the books that I want. The relevant people still get their cut of the money.
I just think the idea of restricting access to books is ridiculous. I don't agree with the concept of different licensing agreements for the different territories but that isn't the only problem, some books just can't be bought from certain locations.
My only problem with the whole arrangement would be if the publishers then looked at sales statistics saw that all the sales were coming from certain countries, almost none from others and felt that the current system was working.
