It is. ToS or EULAs cannot override the law of the land. They have to respect them. It is clear that in the EU/ECC goods and service trading cannot be restricted. Car manufacturers have been heavily fined for trying to prevent people to buy cars in another country of the ECC zone. That Amazon has unlawful restrictions with publishers is their problem, not the EU consumer problem. Do you think that when you buy a book in France, the border police takes it back from you?
