Claiming it is piracy is saying I did not pay for it or that the venders did not pay for it. The vender can ask where I live with every sale and they don't. But even if they did, and I lied, it is not piracy because I bought it from them at their asking price even if I lied. I did not take the book without paying for it. They did not violate any copyright agreement by selling it. No more unethical than waiting for a sale in from my POV. The worst a person is guilty of is lying.
I am too lazy to bother to do this because I can get good prices where I live, but I would have no problem with those that are greatly overcharged just because of where they live doing it, but perhaps you think electrons are more expensive in other countries and this justifies the higher prices.
